#MadhyaPradesh: Stray dogs eat up 70-year-old woman, mauled body found in hospital premises

Bhopal, March 27: In another horrific incident showing pitiable conditions of government hospitals in Madhya Pradesh, a mauled body of a woman was found in the premises of a government hospital. The incident was reported on Sunday morning from Rajgarh district, which is about 130 km from state capital Bhopal. It was reported by TOI that the dogs ate the body of a 70-year-old patient while its remains, which were left in the hospital premises were spotted by the sanination workers. The patient was reported as missing from the hospital on March 22. This disturbing incident is the fifth such incident in the Madhya Pradesh in less than 10 months, and the second this year.

The grisly remains were spotted by the cleaners and sanitation workers in the surrounding area of the hospital. The woman was identified as Bismillah Khan, who had been admitted in the female ward of the same hospital by police a week back.  Bismillah had left the hospital mysteriously a couple of days back and what added to the horror was that the hospital authorities were unaware that she was missing until they found what was left of her in the backyard of the hospital campus. “It was just a head and half the torso. Even that had been chewed up. It was gruesome. There wasn’t much left for a post-mortem,” an official was quoted by TOI. It was also reported that the woman was identified from her purse and scraps of her sari and sweater.
