3 May
Summary
- A 22-year-old man died seven days after surgery.
- Family alleges doctors restricted access post-operation.
- Hospital owner was detained by police amid the disturbance.
A 22-year-old man named Mohammed Faraz passed away on Saturday night at a private hospital in Meerut, a week after being admitted for surgery. His family has raised serious allegations, claiming that hospital staff denied them access to Faraz following his operation.
According to the family, they were only informed of his death when they pressed to see him. A local social activist has echoed these concerns, suggesting potential medical negligence during the chest operation. The activist is calling for a thorough verification of the doctor's degrees and hospital records.
The situation escalated into a disturbance at the hospital, with relatives expressing their anger. Police were called to the scene, and the hospital's owner, Abdul Jabbar, was taken into custody.
While the hospital administration maintains that the surgery was completed successfully and the patient's death was sudden, authorities are investigating the incident further. The outcome of the police investigation is pending.
