Dindori (MP), Nov 2: A pregnant tribal woman was allegedly made to wash the blood stains from the bed of a government hospital in Dindori in Madhya Pradesh after her husband bled on it, officials said on Saturday.

Raghuraj Maravi (28) was brought to the government primary health centre in an injured state after being attacked by relatives on Thursday night over a land dispute, they said.

"He died later. His wife Roshani Bai, who is five months pregnant, was made to wash the blood stains off the bed on which he was admitted. This took place on Saturday. We have suspended nursing officer Rakumari Markam and helper Chotti Bai Thakur and transferred medial officer Dr Chandrashekhar Singh," an official said.

Raghuraj's brother Shivraj Maravi (40) and father Dharam Singh Maravi (65) were killed in the attack while another brother Ramraj is hospitalised in a critical condition, he said.

The attack was allegedly the fallout of a dispute over harvesting crops on a piece of land in Lalpur village, some 50 kilometres from the district headquarters, as per police.

Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.

The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.

"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.

The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.

There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.

Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.

The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
