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.

The 2.46-minute video that surfaced on social media showed the woman telling the two Kashmiris not to come to the village and asking them to say "Jai Shri Ram" to prove they are "Hindustani."
Sharing the video on X on Monday, National Convenor of the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association, Nasir Khuehami, claimed that the video was from a village in Himachal's Hamirpur district.
"No one will purchase their products, buy from our Hindu people," the woman is seen telling others in the video. "Don't come in my area," she told shawl sellers.
Later in a post, Khuehami said that the chief minister's office had assured action against anyone found intimidating Kashmiris.
However, when contacted, the CM's media advisor Naresh Chauhan told the PTI that there was no such complaint. The matter would be looked into if any complaint is registered, he said.
A large number of Kashmiris come to the state to sell shawls and other products, while hundreds of Kashmiris labourers work in the state round the year.
It is highly condemnable that a woman, wife of a Sarpanch, is exhibiting communal behavior toward two Kashmiri men who traveled to Himachal Pradesh for business purposes. Her communal actions, as seen in the video, where she threatens them to leave the state, instructs villagers… pic.twitter.com/IIw2dkZPGt
