Three people, including two patients, have been allegedly bitten by rats at a government medical college hospital in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur, just two weeks after two infants died after rat bites at a State-run hospital in Indore.
According to officials, the incident at the psychiatry ward of Jabalpur’s Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College Hospital where two patients and an attendant were bitten by rats on Monday (September 15, 2025) night, prompted an internal inquiry by the hospital administration.
