Manipal, February 18: Manipal Police filed an FIR against some of the doctors and two nurses of Kasturba Hospital for the death of a three month old child due to their negligence.

Fathimabi, mother of three-month-old male baby Rifai, a native of NR Pura, in Chikmagalur, had lodged a complaint against the Manipal Hospital.

In the complaint Fathimabi said that they had come to Manipal Hospital on Sep 30, 2010, for the treatment of their baby for the discharge of Sodium and Potassium in the urine. Pediatrician Dr Pushpa Kini had diagnosed and successfully treated the child and kept under observation.

In the early hours of Oct 5 nurses on duty Seema and Sangeetha took their child for giving a bath. Meanwhile they sent her to weigh the urine pad of the child. Due to negligence nurses put the baby in a tub containing boiling water, Fathimabi alleged. When she rushed to the spot hearing child crying, skin of the child had peeled out from its waist till the toe. Frightened nurses, in spite of their demand to send the child to the burns ward, simply wrapped up the child. Even Dr Sujith George who came across the child refused to treat the child even after repeated request saying the baby was not his patient. Though the incident took place at early 5 am, Dr Pushpa Kini inspected the child after 11 am, only to say that she could not treat the child. The child died on Oct 9, she said in the complaint.

Shocked parents returned to their native NR Pura. On Friday (Feb 18) both parents of the child- Mohammed Hanief (a KSRTC conductor) and Fathimabi reached the Manipal Police Station and lodged a complaint against the Kasturba Hospital. They also explained their situation before the media infront of the Police Station.

Mysuru, Feb 21: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said Amulya Leona, who raised pro-Pakistan slogans, had links with Naxalites.

Yediyurappa said that Amulya's links with Naxalites have been proved in an investigation. "She must be punished and action will be taken against the people behind it," he said.

"Bail should not be given to Amulya. Her father has also said he won't protect her. Its proved now that she had contacts with Naxals. Proper punishment should be given," he added.

While speaking to reporters at Mysuru Airport, the chief minister said unless actions are taken against the organisations who provoke them to make such comments, it is not possible to control them.

Yediyurappa suspects that the incident was a conspiracy to disturb peace and harmony in the state.

Minister B C Patil said that such incidents should not repeat. "It appears that youths are misused for such anti-national activities, he said.

Mysuru, Jan 27: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday refused to field questions on the state’s finances, merely saying his budget on March 5 will do the talking. The question came in the wake of Siddaramaiah, leader of the opposition, claiming recently that the state’s coffers were dry and its finances were in the doldrums.

However, Yediyurappa insisted the state’s finances were sound and it will be better once promises made by the business community during his trip to Davos turn into concrete investment.

“I will present the budget for 2020-21 on March 5. People will then know about the state’s financial position,” Yediyurappa said during a visit to Suttur Mutt on Sunday. “I will answer Siddaramaiah’s comments during the forthcoming budget session of the state legislature. The Davos meet I attended will benefit the state immensely. It will bring huge investments that will promote industry and agriculture growth and various job-generation activities.”
