Nurse uses ‘Fevi Kwik’ instead of stitches on injured seven-year-old boy in Haveri District
Haveri: In a shocking case of alleged medical negligence, a nurse at Adoor Primary Health Center in Hanagal taluk, Haveri district, reportedly used ‘Fevi Kwik’ adhesive instead of stitches to treat a wound on a seven-year-old boy.
The incident, which took place on January 14, came to light after the child’s family raised concerns and recorded a video of the treatment.
The boy, identified as Gurukishan Annappa Hosamani, sustained a cheek injury while playing. His family rushed him to the nearest health center for treatment. However, instead of stitching the wound, nurse Jyoti allegedly applied ‘Fevi Kwik’glue to close it, claiming it would prevent scarring.

When questioned by the boy’s family, the nurse reportedly defended her action, stating, "I treated the wound to the best of my knowledge. Stitches would have left a mark on his cheek, so I used ‘Fevi Kwik’only on the skin."
Disturbed by the response, the family recorded the incident on their mobile phones and filed a formal complaint with the Adoor Primary Health Center's Health Protection Committee. Following the complaint, District Health Officer (DHO) Rajesh Suragiha has initiated an inquiry and sought a detailed report on the matter.

Belagavi: Massive protests held condemning alleged burning of Quran
Belagavi: Members of the Muslim community gathered in large numbers at Chennamma Circle here on Friday, May 16, to protest condemning the alleged burning of a copy of the Quran in Santi Bastwad village in the district.
The protestors expressed displeasure over the police department's delay in apprehending the accused who burnt religious books despite four days since the incident was reported.
The protesters condemned the incident by wearing black armbands.
The incident came to light on May 12, when miscreants allegedly stole and set fire to several copies of the Islamic holy book, the Quran, from a mosque currently under construction in the area.
According to sources, the Qurans were stored on the ground floor of the under-construction mosque. During the morning prayers on Monday, people discovered that the books were missing. A search later led to the discovery of their burnt remains in a nearby field adjacent to the mosque premises.
