Dog found licking blood from girl's corpse, father slams negligence of the UP hospital

Sambhal (Uttar Pradesh): Sambhal (Uttar Pradesh): The visuals of a dog licking blood from the wound of a girl's dead body which was left unattended in a government hospital at Sambhal district, Uttar Pradesh has gone viral. Two employees of the hospital have been suspended for negligence by Chief Medical Officer, Amita Singh on Thursday.

Charan Singh, the father of the girl, said his children had met with an accident on Wednesday.

"My daughter was declared dead while my son was undergoing treatment in the emergency ward. As he was critical, I was busy getting him referred to Moradabad. When I went to see my daughter's body, a stray dog was feeding on it. Her body was lying unattended. It is clear negligence by the staff," he said.

Dr Sushil Kumar, Chief Medical Superintendent (CMS) said two employers – a sweeper and a ward boy- were suspended for negligence and an inquiry was ordered.

"The body was handed over to the father as he refused post-mortem. It seems the incident happened when the body remained unattended for a few minutes," Dr Kumar said.

The girl, Rinki, was returning home with her brother, Pawan Kumar, on a motorcycle when a truck hit them in Sambhal's Asmoli area on Wednesday.

They were taken to the district hospital where Rinki was declared 'brought dead' while Pawan was referred to another hospital in Moradabad in a critical condition.

Dr Kumar alleged that the incident had taken place after the body was handed over to the girl's father.

However, Singh had slammed the accusation and blamed the authority for negligence.
