Part of patient’s skull misplaced after surgery
Bengaluru: The Whitefield police have registered an FIR against two surgeons of Vydehi hospital for allegedly misplacing a piece of a patient’s skull while performing a surgery.
The accused doctors have been identified as Dr. Guru Prasad and Dr. Rajesh. The police registered an FIR against the doctors based on a complaint lodged by Rukaminiyama – the mother of Chikkamagaluru based patient Manjunath.
According to Rukminiyama, her 25-year-old son Manjunath had been admitted to Vydehi hospital as he suffered from severe headache. After tests, he was advised to undergo surgery immediately as there was a clot in his brain.
The doctors removed a bone flap from Manjunath's skull during surgery, saying that the brain had swollen and the flap would be replaced later. When they went back to the hospital later seeking surgery for replacement of the skull flap, Guruprasad and Rajesh told them the part had been thrown into a dustbin, she alleged.
However, Dr B Guruprasad told that the patient's family had not understood the procedures despite being clearly told the part cannot be replaced.
Manjunath has two young daughters and his widowed mother works as a domestic help to support his treatment and the family.
Police have sought supporting documents from the complainant about the allegations.

FIR against 2 women corporators of Congress in Indore over refusal to sing 'Vande Mataram'
Indore (PTI): Police registered a case against two women corporators of the Congress in Madhya Pradesh's Indore on Wednesday on the charge of disturbing communal harmony for their refusal to sing the national song 'Vande Mataram', an official said.
During the Indore Municipal Corporation's budget session on April 8, Congress corporator Fauzia Sheikh Alim refused to sing 'Vande Mataram' citing Islamic beliefs.
Another corporator, Rubina Iqbal Khan, who joined the Congress after winning the civic election as an independent candidate, also supported Fauzia's stance and refused to sing the national song.
Talking to PTI, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Amarendra Singh said following a probe into a complaint, a case has been registered against Fauzia and Rubina at the M G Road police station under section 196 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) (acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony between different communities).
The police summoned both the corporators for questioning over the past two days and recorded their statements, he said.
"Finally, finding the case prima facie cognisable, we have registered an FIR and initiated a detailed investigation," Singh said.
