Udupi, Jan 10: In what appears to be a case of doctor’s negligence, a teenage girl died of multiple organs’ failure on Wednesday allegedly due to overdose of drug after she consumed allopathic tablets prescribed by an Ayurveda practitioner at Parkala Agrahara in Udupi.

The victim has been identified as Namrita (17), a resident of Parkala Agrahara and a student of first year PU at Vidydoya PU college in Udupi.

According to sources, a few days ago Namrita had approached an Ayurveda practitioner near her home seeking remedy for pimples on her face. The doctor had reportedly given her four allopathic tablets.

After a couple of days she suffered from high fever and was admitted to Kasturba Medical College Hospital in Manipal on January 6. After examinations, the doctors reportedly told the parents that the girl had suffered multiple organ failure as a result of overdose of medicines. Early on Wednesday morning she breathed her last in the ICU. The college declared holiday on Wednesday to mourn the student’s untimely death.
