Surgeon's negligence' claims 19-year-old girl's life

October 10, 2011

Mangalore, October 10: Chaos prevailed at a private hospital, here, on Monday, after a 19-year-old girl died after she reportedly underwent two unsuccessful surgeries for the removal of her appendix.

Zabeena, daughter of late T Husain and B Fathima couple, from Thokur House Addoor, breathed her last in the morning apparently due to the negligence on part of the surgeon, according to the family doctor of the deceased.

T Sayyad, the uncle of the victim said that the girl had been admitted to SCS Hospital on October 4 after she complained of severe abdominal pain. She was then diagnosed with appendicitis.

Veteran surgeon of the city Dr Shubhakar Bhandari carried out the operation to remove her appendix on October 5 and the hospital asked the family members to take the girl home on October 7.

However, the family members, who noticed that the girl's body had turned blue, called Dr Muneer, their family doctor. After a check-up Dr Muneer pointed out the fault in operation and negligence following the operation, due to which the infection had spread inside her body.

Admitting his mistake, Dr Shubhakar Bhandari decided for second surgery on October 7 evening.

However, Zabeena breathed her last around 9:00 am. According to Dr Muneer, it was necessary to check the blood pressure of the girl for every two hours after the surgery.

Angered by the negligence of the surgeon and hospital management, neighbours and relatives of the girl have gathered on the hospital premises, seeking explanation.

“We know that no doctor can bring back our child's life. But, we demand that the aged doctor, should publicly admit his blunder”, said T Sayyad.

Kadri and Pandeshwar police visited the spot. Dr Bhandari, who was called to the hospital amidst tight security, is yet to give a statement.

Bengaluru, Jan 15: Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Bengaluru has decided to remain shut for two days after a group of BJP workers wiped out graffiti on its outer walls claiming it as anti-Modi and allegedly warned them against any anti CAA agitation there.

According to sources, the group led by Yelahanka MLA S R Vishwanath allegedly even towed away some vehicles of students and faculty parked in front of the institute alleging that they were blocking the road and causing inconvenience to the local people.

Some students have alleged that they were threatened by BJP workers and also the institute's authorities regarding the graffiti and the blocking of the road using traffic police.

They even claimed that BJP workers warned them against organising any anti-NRC or CAA protests.

A few local residents are also said to have joined the BJP workers and raised complaints about the conduct of the institute's students.

According to local BJP workers, the MLA and a few party men had gone near the institute on receiving complaints from locals about vehicles parked there blocking the road, and when they came across the graffiti they painted it with saffron paint to avoid any controversy, and there was no altercation as being alleged.

However, there is no clarity on who drew the graffiti regarding Modi, which according to BJP workers allegedly depicted the PM in poor light.

The institute has declared holiday on Thursday and Friday to avoid any further escalation, keeping the interest and safety of students in mind, sources said.

Interestingly, on Tuesday graffiti had appeared overnight on the shutters of some shops and walls on the Church Street against Modi, CAA and NRC, following which the city police have launched an investigation.
