A young man's fractured leg was treated by tying a cardboard carton to his leg instead of a plaster cast in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. Nitish Kumar, who injured his leg after falling from his bike, was taken to a primary health centre in Minapur, where a carton was bandaged to his leg.
Mr Kumar was then moved to nearby Shree Krishna Medical College and Hospital College in Muzaffarpur. Instead of taking off the makeshift splint and replacing it with a plaster cast, no doctor visited him over the five days he was admitted in the hospital, his family alleged.
