According to Paramesh’s brother Mahesh, the discharge was delayed. “My brother was not discharged even after four days. The doctors said they discovered a blood clot in his brain during a CT scan, requiring another operation.” Mahesh alleged.
The family was charged Rs 3.8 lakh for the second surgery. Unfortunately, during the surgery, Paramesh’s condition deteriorated. He was rushed to the Gandhi Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead.
An FIR has been lodged under Section 106 (1) (causing death by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against the super-speciality hospital.
Hospital denies allegations
Meanwhile, SV Super Speciality hospital has denied the allegations stating there was no medical negligence.
“Our doctors did their best. While treating the leg injury, the patient lost 3 to 3.5 liters of blood, causing low blood pressure, paralysis, and a brain clot, which required surgery,” a statement from the hospital read.
Further investigations are underway.
