Jammu: In a shocking incident, a newborn was nibbled by rats in the maternity ward of a government hospital in Kishtwar with parents claiming that the baby died due to rodent bites.
Ghulam Hassan, a resident of the remote Chhatru village of the district, had taken his wife to the hospital where she delivered a baby boy on Thursday, a police officer said today.
He said that the baby was shifted to the maternity ward and when Hassan visited the ward yesterday, he found the baby dead with rat bites visible on his body.
Gurjeet Singh, Director of Health Services in Jammu, said that a probe has been launched into the matter.
However, preliminary inquiry suggest that the baby had already died due to some illness and was nibbled by rats after his death," Mr Singh told PTI.
