Eyes Plucked Off Dead Person In Kolkata Hospital Morgue

Kolkata: In a gory incident, a family alleged that a man who died in an accident, had his eyes missing after his body was handed over to the family at a state-run government hospital in Kolkata.

Sambhunath Das, 69, had suffered head injuries after falling on the road on Sunday. He was declared dead on arrival at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

His son said that when he enquired why the eyes of the body kept in the morgue were missing after the post-mortem examination, few employees said that his eyes were eaten by rats.

"When the body was handed over to us after the post- mortem examination, we found that my father's eyes were missing. When we enquired, some employees of the morgue said his eyes were gouged out by rats," said Sushanta, the son of the deceased.

RG Kar MCH authorities ordered an investigation that set up a three-member panel to look into the matter.

The issue had created a commotion at the hospital premises as Susanta demanded an explanation from the authorities on Monday.
