Dead Covid Patient's Family Alleges Negligence, Vandalises Bihar Hospital

The family ransacked the hospital, forcing nurses and other medics to run for cover.

Angry over the death of a Covid patient allegedly due to medical negligence, his family vandalised state-run Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) on Sunday, forcing the hospital staff to run for safety, hospital sources told news agency Press Trust of India. The incident followed death of a man who was undergoing treatment for coronavirus at the hospital. The family members of the man alleged he died due to negligence by the hospital staff. DMCH Superintendent Mani Bhusan Sharma, however, denied negligence and said he was stable and was found dead in the hospital toilet.
