MP, Mar 28, 2017: A mauled body of an 80-year-old woman, who was apparently eaten up by stray dogs, was found in the district hospital premises days after she went missing from the facility.

Officials said that the remains of the woman identified as Bismillah were found on Sunday by the sanitation staff in the hospital premises near the maternity ward. The woman had gone missing on 19 March.

It appears that she was eaten up by stray dogs who just left the upper portion of her body, the CMHO said, adding the woman might have probably stepped out of the hospital and mauled by the animals.

However, further probe will bring clarity into the incident, he added.

The woman went missing on 19 March, but no police complaint was lodged by the hospital authorities, they said.

Her remains have been handed over to relatives for last rites and investigation is underway.
