The body when received from the hospital, was found with fresh injuries.
A dead body at the morgue of the Indore district hospital was found nibbled by rats. The kin of the dead alleged on Saturday. A senior official said rodents had bitten the man`s cheeks and a show-cause notice will be issued to the pest control agency hired by the hospital.
"The morgue did not even have a freezer. But the staff assured us that the body would be safe during the night. When we received the body back after an autopsy today, we saw fresh injuries on the face, palms, and fingers due to rat`s nibbling," he said. When contacted, the hospital`s civil surgeon Dr. Santosh Verma said that according to the doctor who carried out the autopsy, rats had only gnawed at the deceased`s cheeks. The private pest control agency which sprays disinfectants in the mortuary will be issued a show-cause notice, he said. Krishnakant Panchal (41), hailing from Dhar district, died at a private hospital here on Friday after allegedly consuming poison, district hospital sources said.
