A 46-year-old man was attacked by a crocodile at Bhopal's Kaliasot dam where he had gone for fishing on Tuesday. The crocodile bit his left leg, making deep puncturing wounds.
The victim has been identified as Kishori Lal, a resident of Bhoipura Budhwara, in old Bhopal.
According to Dr SM Aagaz, who treated him, Lal was brought to his clinic by his friend and was bleeding profusely.
"The crocodile put its six teeth into his leg and each wound was around three inches long. After 40 stitches and treatment, his bleeding stopped. Now he is recuperating but I have advised him to visit the clinic every day for dressing so that there are no chances of infection," said Dr Aagaz.
He further said Lal has been visiting him for consultation for many years and regularly goes to Kaliasot dam for fishing. "However, I have never come across a case of crocodile bite. This is the first time I handled such a case," he said.
