Angry over the death of a virus-infested person allegedly due to medical negligence, his kins vandalized state-run Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) Sunday, forcing the hospital staff to run for safety, hospital sources said.
The man was undergoing treatment for coronavirus at DMCH where this incident took place. The family members of the deceased alleged he died due to negligence by the hospital staff.
However, DMCH Superintendent Mani Bhusan Sharma denied negligence and said he was stable and was found dead in the hospital toilet. When the victim’s father visited him this morning, he was told about the death.
Complaining that the death happened on account of lack of proper care by the attending hospital staff, the family ransacked the hospital forcing nurses and other medics to run for cover. The situation was brought under control after Sub Divisional Officer came to the hospital after coming to know about the violence.
However, India recorded another new peak in daily cases with 1,70,195 fresh infections detected on Sunday, an 11.6% jump from the previous day’s tally of over 1.52 lakh cases. The day’s death toll crossed 900 for the first time since October 10, with 903 fatalities reported on Sunday.
