A disturbing video from Dindori, Madhya Pradesh, has gone viral, showing a five-month pregnant woman cleaning a blood-stained hospital bed after her husband succumbed to fatal injuries. The incident has ignited public outrage, prompting local authorities to issue a show-cause notice to hospital staff involved.
Details of the Tragic Incident
The incident unfolded after a brutal attack on Dharam Singh Marwi and his two sons, Raghuraj and Shivraj Marwi, in the Gardasari region of Dindori. According to reports, the three family members were assaulted by a group of 20–25 assailants on Thursday. Shivraj, who suffered severe injuries, was rushed to the Gardasari Health Centre, where he tragically passed away due to blood loss. His father and brother were declared dead on arrival.
Viral Video Shows Pregnant Woman Cleaning Blood-Stained Bed
A video that emerged on social media shows Shivraj’s pregnant wife, Roshni, wiping down the blood-stained hospital bed where her husband had been treated. The footage reveals hospital staff handing tissues to her and instructing her to clean the area. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation online, with viewers calling for accountability and questioning the hospital’s treatment of the grieving woman.
Authorities Respond to Public Outrage
Following the viral spread of the video, local authorities swiftly responded. The district collector announced that a full investigation is underway, and assured the public that immediate action will be taken against those found responsible. A show-cause notice has been issued to the hospital staff, demanding an explanation for the incident.
Hospital’s Defense: “She Was Not Forced”
In response to the backlash, a senior doctor at the Gardasari Health Centre stated that Roshni was not explicitly forced to clean the bed. According to the doctor, she was gathering her husband’s blood-soaked clothes, allegedly to preserve evidence for the case, and voluntarily began to clean the bed. However, this explanation has done little to quell the anger of netizens who believe the hospital staff acted insensitively.
Public Demands Accountability and Reform
The incident has sparked a larger conversation on social media about patient care and dignity in healthcare facilities. Viewers are demanding accountability for the hospital staff’s actions and calling for reforms to prevent such instances in the future.
