While some witnesses claimed that the dog brought the human limb from inside the hospital, the hospital authorities denied the allegation, saying amputated parts are disposed of as per the protocol.
“Maximum amputations occur in the trauma centre. I have inquired with the staff, no amputation was done on Thursday,” SMS Hospital Superintendent Dr Sushil Kumar Bhati said.
“No information about the amputated part going out of the hospital has come so far. The authenticity of the matter is doubtful,” he said.
