A medic at the hospital where the baby was born, Dr BS Soni, said: “There is no harm of any kind in having 26 fingers, but it is a genetic anomaly. The girl is otherwise absolutely healthy.”

It could not be ascertained whether the family are planning to have their newborn girl undergo surgery to reduce the number of her fingers and toes.
