It is also not known whether the young man was undergoing treatment at the hospital.

Hospital superintendent Dr VS Paul said he had no information about the deceased and the police was probing the matter. The body has been sent for autopsy, he said.

This was not the first such incident in Indore.

In June last year, a similar matter was reported from a district hospital when ants preyed upon the corpse of a three-day old baby girl, awaiting post-mortem in the mortuary.

She had died due to alleged negligence of the hospital staff.
