Hyderabad: KPHB police registered a case of negligence against a private hospital, after parents of a child alleged that doctors left a needle in child’s leg. A case was registered against Dr Srinivas of Prasad Hospital.
According to police wife of Kalluri Narendra Kumar, a resident of Nizampet village, delivered a boy in April in a private hospital and later she was shifted to another hospital as she developed medical complications.
