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.
Preeti Devi, from north west India, described her rescuers as ‘angels’ and said that without their kind actions she would be dead.
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.

A new start
According to authorities, Preeti was ‘scared for her life’ after she was attacked and she ran away from her home in Bihar around six months ago.
She was then living on the streets in Rajasthan.
Moved by her plight, the volunteers called an ambulance and brought her to the home.
Apna Ghar aims to ‘serve the helpless destitute persons who are facing a very painful phase of life’.
The helpers not only treated her, but also provided her food and clean clothes.
‘I intend to go back home and start a new life,’ says Preeti, who is now set to leave for a her hometown for a fresh beginning.
