Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh: A patient, who is in a coma, had his leg bitten by a rat. The 27-year-old patient is admitted to a government-run hospital in Ratlam District of Madhya Pradesh.

Suraj Singh Bhati, a 27-year-old man, sustained injuries after being involved in a motorcycle accident on the 29th of May this year, and since the accident happened, he has been in a coma.

The incident came to light when Rajendra saw bite marks on the ankle of his son on Monday morning.

Rajendra said he saw blood and skin all over the bed of his son when he arrived there.

When Rajendra reported the incident to the staff of the hospital, they dressed the wound and did nothing about the rat problem.
