Case against students for attacking nursing home

Ghaziabad: Police on Sunday registered a case against a few college students who have allegedly vandalised a nursing home here following death of one Akhilesh, who was under treatment.

Following the incident at the nursing home in Modinagar South last Friday, the city doctors have launched a protest demanding the arrest of those behind the incident.

The students of K.N. Modi Engineering college attacked the nursing home after the second year B. Tech student had died last Thursday due to alleged medical negligence on the part of the hospital authorities, police said.

The students were demanding the arrest of the college management and the chairman of the Jeevan nursing home Doctor Devendra Siwach. The students had alleged that the management did not grant the leave to the “sick” student, they added.

The police have already registered a case of negligence against the nursing home and the collage administration following the protest by the students on Friday.

However, the doctors denied the charges of medical negligence saying that the student had already died before he was brought to the hospital. — PTI
