Mumbai: A 25-year-old patient allegedly died due to infection caused by an injection given to him by a "doctor" who was later arrested, police said.
Pradip Aananda Jadhav, a daily wage worker, visited the clinic of "doctor" Shahbaz Alam Siddhiqui (36) at Deonar in eastern suburbs on November 5 as he was suffering from fever, a police official said.
Alam administered an injection to Jadhav and sent him home. But, next day he again went to Alam with a complaint of pain at the spot where injection was administered, he said.
