Infant’s death sparks tension
Special Correspondent
Police brought in to pacify the agitated relatives
CHENNAI: The death of a 45-day-old child, Vignesh, and the protest by the relatives led to tension at the Raja Sir Ramasamy Mudaliar Hospital in Royapuram on Friday morning.
Police had to be brought in to pacify the agitated relatives of the child who blamed the death on the BCG vaccination administered to the infant at the hospital.
According to police, Kuppusamy and Lalitha brought their child to the hospital for the vaccination on Thursday.
Fifteen other children were given the vaccination along with Vignesh.
But this morning the parents of Vignesh brought the child to the hospital, where he was declared dead.
Doctors said the child had choked to death and that it had nothing to do with the vaccination.
Angry relatives refused to leave the hospital and the police intervened.
The child’s body was taken to the nearby Government Stanley hospital for autopsy. The body was then handed over to the family. Mr. Kuppusamy has lodged a complaint with police.
