The father, who according to authorities didn’t had any medical training’ did the procedure ‘after saying a prayer’. 

During the same interview, the father admitted to using a sanltized bIade, which according to authorities was utility tool, to perform the procedure. The couple also used gauze pads to stop the blood. Unfortunately, they weren’t prepared for the amount of bleeding. When the parents realized that the baby was bIeeding a lot, they rushed the child to the hospital. During an interview with investigators, the baby’s mom reportedly admitted to being hesitant about her husband doing the surgical procedure, but helped him carry it out.
