In a shocking incident at the state-run Dr Ram Manohar lohia Hospital here, parts of the body of a woman were allegedly eaten up by a dog, prompting authorities on Sunday to terminate the services of a ward boy and three security personnel posted at its mortuary.
Principal Secretary (Health) Prashant Trivedi told PTI that the services of the four persons were terminated with "immediate effect" and an FIR was registered against them on the basis of a complaint by the director of the hospital, Devendra Negi.
Pushpa Tiwari (40), a resident of Chinhat, was admitted to the hospital's emergency ward on Saturday afternoon as a suspected case of celphos poisoning. She died during treatment in the evening, Negi said.
The woman's body was kept in a deep freezer in the mortuary as an autopsy had to be conducted since it was a medico-legal case.
