Sandhukha Arun, 53, was admitted to the hospital grounds with pneumonia on 11 December. However, when his family went to visit him, was in bed dying, surrounded by blood.
Explains the Asian Age newspaper, the man's family ran for help and could not find anyone to attend Arun, who was writhing in pain.

ICU patient dies after rodents feast on him
Jaipur, Jan 11, DHNS
Rat menace
Rodents with a taste for the human flesh have struck at a Jodhpur government hospital, killing a patient admitted in the intensive care unit.
A 70-year-old paralytic patient, on ventilator at the ICU of a government hospital in Jodhpur died a gory death on Tuesday, with rats allegedly feasting on him. The incident reaffirms the sorry state of affairs at the government hospitals in Jodhpur.
The rodents nibbled on the hapless man?s ears, eye lids, nose, lips and cheeks while hospital attendants and his relatives were fast asleep. They woke up to find him dead.
...
Not a rare incident
Patients succumbing to rodent attacks is not an alien phenomenon in Jodhpur. In 2009, an infant allegedly died after being attacked by rats at the Ummed Hospital here.
The hospital grabbed the headlines once again after 29 women died there during childbirth, due to infection and contaminated IV fluid. This apart, a newborn was taken away by a stray dog from a government hospital in Kishangarh in Ajmer district last year.
