Ice ball drops from sky: MPHRC takes cognisance

Bhopal: Taking cognisance of TOI report, Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission (MPHRC) issued a notice to state government seeking report on an unusual incident wherein a 60-year-old tribal woman was injured after a football-sized chunk of ice fell on her from the sky in Sagar district.
The Collector of Sagar has been asked to submit a report on the matter by human rights commission chairman and retired IPS officer V M Kanwar, said sources.
What was touted as a rare celestial occurrence in district's Aamkhoh village on December 17 had grabbed attention of aviation scientists who believe culprit was a commercial plane which dropped a ball of frozen poo and urine from its toilet.
Experts say that was perhaps the first incident in India, where a person suffered injuries due to fall of ice from a passing plane and the victim was entitled to compensation for the injury.
