**Tragic Death of Constable Santosh Choudhary After Snake Bite in Indore**

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a tragic incident, Constable Santosh Choudhary, posted in the 1st Battalion of the Special Armed Force (SAF) in the Sadar Bazar area, lost his life after being bitten by a snake on Saturday, police said on Sunday.

The incident occurred around 10 pm at the battalion premises. According to the police, Constable Choudhary was informed about the presence of a snake and rushed to the spot. Having experience in catching snakes and having done so several times before, he was called upon to handle the situation.

However, this time, while trying to catch the snake hidden in a window, the snake bit him on his right hand. His colleagues immediately took him to the hospital, where he was administered an anti-venom injection. Unfortunately, the venom spread quickly, and despite medical efforts, he could not be saved.

Santosh Choudhary had been serving in the police force for 17 years. He is survived by his wife and two children.

A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, showing Santosh attempting to catch the snake, the snake hissing, and then suddenly striking him. The footage highlights both the danger involved and his bravery in handling the situation.

In light of his sacrifice, it has been recommended that Santosh be honoured as a martyr. The Commandant of the First Battalion praised him as a dedicated officer and an expert in handling snakes, assuring full support to his family during this difficult time.

Following the incident, a search operation was conducted in the stable area to ensure safety from any remaining snakes.

This heartbreaking event underscores the risks that police officers face in the line of duty. Constable Santosh Choudhary will be remembered as a brave and committed officer who gave his life while protecting others.

**Indore Hospital Rat Bite Incident Sparks Protests Demanding Accountability**

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Anger over the infamous rat bite incident at MY Hospital refuses to die down. On Sunday, members of Jai Adivasi Yuva Shakti (JAYS) staged a protest at the hospital gates, demanding the suspension of the dean, superintendent, and other responsible officials, along with the registration of a culpable homicide case against them.

The protest began around noon when JAYS workers gathered outside the hospital, raising slogans against the administration. Holding placards, they alleged that negligence by the hospital management endangered the lives of newborn babies.

JAYS national president Lokesh Mujalda condemned the incident, stating, “The rat incident in Indore has shaken the entire state. Playing with the lives of innocent newborns due to administrative negligence is a shameful act against humanity. Our aim is to expose the corruption and disorder prevailing in the hospital and ensure justice for the victims.”

He further warned that if immediate action, including the suspension of the dean and superintendent, is not taken, the lives of infants will continue to remain at risk. “This movement is not just about seeking justice but also about fixing accountability in the healthcare system,” Mujalda added.

To address the protest, dean Dr. Arvind Ghanghoria and SDM Pradeep Soni arrived at the hospital to calm down the demonstrators. However, JAYS workers asserted that their phased agitation would continue until their demands are fulfilled.

The incident has raised serious concerns about hospital safety standards and administrative responsibility in safeguarding vulnerable patients, especially newborns. The community awaits swift action to prevent such incidents in the future.
