The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Thursday postponed the hearing of the bail plea of a paediatrician accused in connection with the tragic deaths of 24 children, allegedly caused by consumption of a now-banned toxic cough syrup in Chhindwara and Betul districts, due to lack of time.
The accused physician from Chhindwara, Dr Praveen Soni, who prescribed the contaminated cough syrup 'Coldrif' to most of the ailing kids, has been arrested for alleged negligence in connection with the child deaths.
