Thane: Narpoli police have registered a case against a doctor at Nobel Hospital in Kasarvadavali in connection with the death of a 33-year-old patient who was undergoing thrombolysis, police said.

The patient was admitted to Nobel Hospital in Kasarvadavali/Kamatghar after experiencing chest pain on April 28, he said.

A doctor was booked in Bhiwandi in Thane district for alleged medical negligence after the death of a 33-year-old patient, a police official said on Friday.

“The doctor performed a 2D Echo and angiography, which revealed minor blockages in the heart. He subsequently left the hospital and instructed staff over the phone to administer thrombolysis, a blood-thinning procedure, despite knowing it posed a severe threat to the patient’s life without a specialist present on-site,” he said, according to PTI.

Based on the probe, a case was registered under section 106(1) (causing death by negligence) Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). No arrest has been made so far, the official added.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that a case was registered against four people, including two doctors, following allegations that a prenatal scan report indicated that the unborn baby was normal, while the baby was later born with serious abnormalities at a private hospital in Vijay Nagar, Ghaziabad. According to the complaint, the woman underwent a prenatal scan at a diagnostic centre in Delhi on July 11, 2025, when she was around five months pregnant. The family alleged that the report did not reflect the abnormal condition of the foetus and instead recorded the pregnancy as normal. The case was registered at Vijay Nagar police station following the court's directions. The complaint was filed by the child’s father, who alleged that his wife had been undergoing regular check-ups during her pregnancy at a private hospital in Pratap Vihar.
