Mangaluru: Heart patient dies after surgery; relatives accuse doctors of their negligence
Mangaluru, Dec 19: Relatives of a heart patient alleged that the patient died due to the negligence of doctors during surgery at a private hospital near Jyothi Circle in the city.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, Ahmed Kabeer, brother of deceased Anwar Hussein (49), alleged that as per the doctors report that his elder brother had blocks in his heart, Anvar was admitted to the private hospital on December 15. Then he was healthy. At 9am, he was taken to operation theatre for surgery. At 6 pm, the doctors who came out of the operation theatre, said that kidney of the patient was damaged and out of five blocks in the heart, only three were removed and shifted him to the ICU. But on December 16 at 2.30 am, the doctors declared that the patient was dead. At 4.10 am, they gave death certificate. When the body was taken home for cremation, it was swollen. When it was discussed with the doctors, they gave arrogant answer, Kabeer said.

Migrant labourer lynched in Odisha over false claim of Bangladeshi identity
Sambalpur, Odisha: A 30-year-old migrant labourer from West Bengal was beaten to death around 8.30 pm on Wednesday in the Shantinagar city after a group of men falsely accused him of being an illegal Bangladeshi national.
Police said on Thursday, the victim, identified as Juel Shaikh, had stopped at a tea stall after completing his day’s work. Three other migrant workers were with him at the time.
According to police and local sources, a group of four to five unidentified men approached the workers and began questioning them about their identity. The Observer Post reported that the men allegedly accused the labourers of being Bangladeshi immigrants and demanded proof of identity. After the workers produced valid identity documents, the attackers reportedly dismissed them as fake and began assaulting the group.
Three of the workers managed to flee. Juel Shaikh was caught by the assailants and beaten severely. He sustained serious injuries and died at the spot. The attackers fled soon after the assault.
A police officer said the body was recovered from the scene and shifted to the district headquarters hospital morgue. Shaikh’s family has been informed of his death. The injured workers were admitted to hospital for treatment. A post-mortem examination of the deceased is scheduled to be conducted on Thursday.
