Police complaint against Medanta Medicity after a patient dies

"There was confusion as some hospital staff said he was critical while some others said he was already dead," Sachin told IANS.

"The doctors did not allow us to see the patient. In the end, we sought police help by calling up the police control room," a family member said.

After police officer Pradeep Kumar arrived at the hospital, one family member was allowed to see the patient after he was shifted to an intensive care unit.

A senior doctor, who did not wish to be named, told IANS: "The allegations are false. In fact, a team of doctors was doing its best to save the life of the critically injured patient."

"His intestines were crushed. There was no blood pressure in the patient. Four bottles of blood were administered to Nitin in an effort to save him. We are badly hurt by such allegations," the doctor said.

"The total bill was over Rs.1.80 lakh but we waived it; only Rs.70,000 were deposited," he added.

When the family finally took the boy to the Safdarjung Hospital, he was declared brought dead by the doctors there.

"We have filed a police complaint against the Medicity doctors and are awaiting the post-mortem report," a family member said.
