By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, MARHC 25. A 64-year-old woman died at a private hospital in Chamarajpet on Thursday soon after doctors allegedly gave her an injection.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), Ramasubba, said that at about 11.30 a.m., Kamala Bai came to the hospital in Chamarajpet, for a CT scan on the advice of a neurologist from Jayanagar.

Before conducting the CT scan, the doctors at the hospital gave her an injection and she died a few minutes later, Mr. Ramasubba said.

Following the death of Kamala Bai, her relatives created a ruckus at the hospital and alleged that she died because of medical negligence, he said.

On a complaint by one of her relatives, the Central Police have registered a case. The police are waiting for the autopsy report to ascertain the cause of death.
