OP Juktawat, civil surgeon at the drict hospital, said the unidentified man was at the hospital on Monday and was diagnosed with mouth cancer. He was subsequently seen in the neighbourhood before being found dead on Wednesday morning.
A local resident Divyansh Ojha said newspaper vendor Himanshu Jain was the first to spot the body surrounded dogs and pigs. He chased away the animals. There were bite marks on the body, said Ojha.
Police said they were trying to identify the man and were awaiting the autopsy report.
Padamnagar police station in-charge Dinesh Kumrawat said the police are looking into the sequence of events and hope that the postmortem report will indicate if the dogs attacked him when he was alive or they came later to feed on him after his death.
