An 11-year-old boy, Dharmpal from Bhatkhedi Buzurg, succumbed to death hours after receiving an injection in Manasa, Madhya Pradesh, on Thursday, sparking protests and demands for accountability. The administration sealed the doctor's private hospital and launched a departmental inquiry following the tragic incident. The deceased's father, Mangal Keer, and Zila Panchayat member R Sagar Kachhawa alleged negligence by Dr Sunil Patidar, who treated the child for a cold and cough.
The family claims that after the injection, the boy began foaming at the mouth and passed away shortly thereafter. A post-mortem examination at Neemuch District Hospital confirmed the cause of death, but the family refused to accept the body, instead demanding Rs 50 lakh in compensation and strict legal action against the practitioner.
Protesters blocked roads, staged a sit-in, and threatened further demonstrations until their grievances are addressed.
