The father of the child, then examined the syrup bottle, only to be shocked by reading, "Â Only for animal use". The family immediately took their child to another doctor while at the same time complaining to the local police.
When the local police visited the clinic and questioned the doctor, the practitioner accepted to his mistake."Dr Shah admitted to have given her the syrup, but claimed that he wasn't aware that it was only for animal use.
