Sagar : A family in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh district has claimed that they found rat-bite marks on the body of their 70-year-old relative which was returned following his death in the hospital’s ICU, prompting an inquiry into the matter.

Virendra Chadar, of Sukha Satpara village, said his ailing father Jagdish Chadar (70) had been serious and admitted to the ICU of Damoh district hospital on Monday night.

“At around 2 am, we were informed that he had died. While taking my father’s body we noticed some injury marks near his left eye and some ointment put there. The staff told us that a rat had bitten him,” he said.

Chadar said he was in a state of shock and did not raise the issue then, but he demanded action in the matter.

Dr Mamta Timori, civil surgeon, said she came to know of the incident on Wednesday morning.

“No one from the staff informed me about the incident. I have issued notice to the staff nurse on duty and also ordered an inquiry. I have also contacted an Indore-based pest control company to exterminate the rats,” she said.

Human rights activist, Manoj Devariya said this is not the first case of irregularity coming to light in the district hospital, but no action has been taken in earlier cases.

He said a rat getting into the ICU is a serious matter and a high level inquiry should be ordered and action should be taken against guilty.

Noida (PTI): A Lamborghini hit two pedestrians on a footpath adjacent to an under-construction building in sector 94 here on Sunday, police said.

The injured, labourers from Chhattisgarh, were rushed to a nearby hospital and are said to be out of danger. They have suffered a fracture in their legs, police said.

A purported video surfaced online showing that after the accident, a man was heard asking the accused if he knew how many people died here. To this, the accused asked the locals "koi mar gaya idhar? (did anyone die here?)" and came out of the car.

Following this, someone in the video could be heard saying, "police ko bulao (call the police)".

Bhupendra Singh, In-charge at Sector 126 Police Station told PTI, "In the car accident two labourers were injured and they were from Chhattisgarh. They are out of danger and have fractures in their legs."

The accident happened adjacent to an under-construction building, he said.

"The car driver has been identified as Deepak, a resident of Ajmer and the car is registered with the Puducherry registration. He has been arrested and the car has been seized," he added.

During questioning he told the police that the accident happened due to a fault in the vehicle. Further investigation is underway, Singh said.
