Homoeopathic doctor arrested for allopathic practice after 6-year-old's death
Medical Negligence
Ratlam: In a shocking case of alleged medical negligence, a 6-year-old girl suffering from fever died hours after receiving an injection from a homoeopathic doctor who was practising as an allopathic practitioner for a decade and administered treatments without proper knowledge at his clinic.
Despite not having the required license, he had reportedly been administering injections and IV drips to his patients. The doctor who is not certified to conduct allopathic treatments is reported to have been practising for over a decade.
He had been running the clinic from a rented room in Ratlam and was also working as a homoeopathy teacher at a private university.

The police arrested him on Tuesday night after he fled the clinic and went into hiding. Based on the preliminary investigation, the clinic was also sealed by the police authorities.
According to a report by the Free Press Journal, this is the second such incident linked to the same clinic. The first occurred in 2019, when a 30-year-old man, who had complained of pain in his hands and legs, died during treatment at the facility.
