BRITAIN: As education becomes more expensive, more and more medical students are turning to the flesh trade to fund their studies and pay their bills.

One in 10 trainee doctors know someone selling their body because of tuition fees, reveals Daily Mail. Television soaps have played an important role in making the healthcare industry glamorous, a medical journal claims.

Students like to take the easy get rich-quick route to pay their medical tution fees and prostitution is one such option. In fact, prostitution is booming alongside rising tutiton fees.

A survey published in 2010 listed pole or lap dancing as the most popular type of sex work, followed by stripping, but prostitution was the next most common.

AJMER: A 35-year-old woman who is awaiting trial is confined in Ajmer prison, chewed off a 4-year-old boy's fingers in a horrific incident. The woman is behind bars for throwing her son off a moving train.

The boy lives with his mother, who is also a prisoner, inside the four walls. The mother was also injured in the attack, when she tried to save her son, reports The Times of India.

The incident occurred around lunch time when the boy's mother had left her son unattended to get food. The boy was playing by himself when the woman started beating him and even nibbled his fingers. The woman attacked the mother and bit her hand as well.

The boy has not spoken a word after the attack and is in a state of shock. Both mother and son have been admitted in a hospital for treatment. A case has been registered against the attacker.

 


Infant dies after drinking kerosene

SALEM: A baby consumed fuel kept in a tumbler, while her parents sat drinking nearby unaware of a tragedy unfolding before them in the Indian steel city of Salem.

The parents of the one-and-a-half year old girl are poor brick kiln labourers who did not realise that their child was drinking kerosene.

The little girl probably mistook the relatively dark coloured liquid fuel to be tea. The tragedy occurred in the morning hours while the parents were consuming the beverage to ward off the winter chill.

The child was rushed to a hospital when the parents realised that not all was well, but it was too late and she died in the hospital.

 

Doctor rapes deaf and mute patient

KOLKATA: In a horrific incident, a deaf and mute woman was raped by a doctor working in a government hospital.

The 19-year-old patient was found disrobed and lying in an unconscious state in the hospital where she wwas admitted for chest pain, reports The Times of India. The woman was examined and found to have been raped. Further investigation is on.

The Indian state of West Bengal has recently witnessed a series of rape cases accompanied by state apathy. The chief minister of the state, Mamata Banerjee, also a woman, has gone on record and called a rape victim a liar. Public outcry followed the politician's statement. The chief minister just made the situation worse by blaming the opposition for the recent spate of rape cases. She has not made any statement so far on this case.

However, the woman's family has registered a complaint with the hospital and a panel has been set up to look into the allegations, said the paper.
