The deceased, a resident of Jaganpura village, was reportedly suffering from a cold and a cough. On Tuesday afternoon, he visited a clinic in the Kashmir area of Mihona town, where he was treated by a quack.
According to police, soon after the quack administered the injection, the patient’s health deteriorated rapidly. Before his family members could arrange medical assistance or shift him to a hospital, he collapsed and died inside the clinic.
Following the incident, the family created a ruckus, accusing the doctor of administering the wrong injection. Police arrived at the scene, conducted a post-mortem examination, and began investigating the case, reports Amar Ujala.
Based on the post-mortem report and the findings of the preliminary investigation, police registered an FIR against the accused under relevant sections of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Speaking to Free Press Journal, police officials said the accused doctor fled Mihona after the incident. Raids are being conducted at possible locations to arrest him.
The incident has once again highlighted the growing concern over unqualified medical practitioners operating in rural and semi-urban areas of the state.
