While one baby died last night, the other breathed his last today, they said.

The twins, both males and born on Wednesday, were joined at the abdomen and had a common lever. One of the twins had no anus and the alimentary canal was incompletely formed, the sources said.

The twins were separated after a four-hour surgery on Thursday.

Parents refused to take bodies of the twins to the burial ground alleging that the separation was hasty.
