Preeti Devi, from north west India, described her rescuers as ‘angels’ and said that without their kind actions she would be dead.
A homeless woman whose head was infested with maggots has been nursed back to health thanks to the help of good Samaritans she calls her ‘angels’. She was sat crying by the road when volunteers from a charitable organisation spotted her and reached out to her.
The 30-year-old said she suffered the injuries on her head when a group of people attacked her. She was treated and cared for by staff from Apna Ghar at its facilities in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, over a period of five months and now her head has completely healed.
