Surathkal: Teenage boy injured in road mishap dies during surgery; Family alleges medical negligence
Mangaluru: In a tragic incident, a teenage boy succumbed to injuries sustained in an accident, with his family accusing medical negligence as the cause of death. The deceased, identified as Moidin Farhan (17), son of Hasan Bawa, was involved in an accident in Mukka around 8 o'clock the previous day.
Following the accident, Farhan was rushed to Atharva Hospital in Surathkal for treatment. Despite initially talking to his family and friends, the boy later died during the surgery. The family alleged that the boy's demise was a result of an overdose of anesthesia administered during an emergency surgery.
The surgery, ordered by a doctor, was performed at 9 am on Wednesday. However, Farhan did not regain consciousness until noon, eventually succumbing to his injuries. The family asserts that the cause of death was not the accident itself but rather the alleged overdose during the surgical procedure.
Expressing their suspicions, the family has lodged a complaint at the Surathkal police station. In response to the incident, family members and local residents gathered in protest in front of the hospital, condemning what they perceive as medical malpractice and negligence on the part of the doctors involved.

Four of family found dead in Maharashtra’s Nanded district in suspected mass suicide
Nanded (PTI): A farmer, his wife and their two sons were found dead in two different locations in Maharashtra’s Nanded district on Thursday morning, in what police suspect to be a mass suicide, an official said.
Around 8 am, the bodies of Ramesh Sonaji Lakhe (51) and his wife Radhabai Lakhe (45) were discovered on a cot in their home at Jawala Murar village in Mudkhed tehsil, he said.

The bodies of their sons, Umesh (25) and Bajrang (23), were subsequently found on nearby railway lines. It appears they jumped in front of a speeding train, the official said.
Police inspector Dattatray Manthale told reporters, “The parents were found dead inside their home, while the sons took their lives on the railway tracks. We have asked a Forensic Science Laboratory team to collect evidence. The truth will come out only after a thorough technical investigation and autopsy.”
While the nature of their death appears to be part of a suicide pact, police said the exact circumstances remain unclear.
The family belonged to the small-scale farming community, but it is not yet confirmed if financial distress or a domestic crisis triggered the extreme step, the official said.
Neighbours described the Lakhes as a hardworking family who struggled against the odds of small-land farming to sustain themselves.
The Nanded rural police are recording statements of relatives and checking for notes or final messages left by the family.
