Pregnant Woman Forced To Clean Hospital Bed

According to the Times of India, the incident took place in Lalpur village of the tribal-dominated Dindori district, where a violent confrontation erupted over a long-standing land dispute. A father and his three sons were attacked by a mob while attempting to reclaim their land, which had been legally awarded to them through a court ruling in 2018. The attack involved 20 to 25 assailants armed with sticks and sharp tools.

The viral video showing Roshni holding a blood-soaked cloth prompted immediate public backlash. Dr Chandrashekar Tekam of the health centre later clarified that Roshni was not specifically instructed to clean but was collecting blood-soaked clothes to gather evidence, Times of India reported.

"The men were shot at during a land dispute on Thursday and two of them were brought to our facility. The wife of the man who died asked us to let her wipe the blood from the bed with a cloth so she could use it as evidence of the extent of the bleeding. She was not asked to clean the bed. I have not received any complaint from the woman or her family," he said.

Absolutely appalling! In Madhya Pradesh’s Dindori, a 5-month pregnant lady was forced by a government hospital to clean a bed after her husband’s death. Is this how we treat grieving citizens? Unacceptable!
