Stray Dogs Maul Infant Sleeping Next To Mother In Govt Hospital In Rajasthan

Rajasthan: In a bizarre incident, stray dogs allegedly mauled an infant to death at a government hospital in Rajasthan’s Sirohi district.

The matter came to the fore after Sirohi MLA Sanyam Lodha narrated the incident in the Rajasthan Assembly on Tuesday.

According to reports, the infant’s father was admitted to Sirohi government hospital for silicosis treatment. The incident occurred while the infant was sleeping next to his mother and two siblings on the floor beside his father’s bed when the dogs dragged him away, informed officials.

Later his mutilated body was recovered near a water tank outside the ward. However, the CCTV failed to capture the incident.

Following this, the nursing officer Suresh Meena has been suspended with immediate effect for negligence, and the services of guard Bhavani Singh and ward boy Ujjawal Devasi have been terminated, district collector Bhanwar Lal said.

Further inquiry is underway in this regard.
