HYDERABAD: A 22-year-old TB patient died due to alleged negligence of the ward boy at the Chest Hospital on Monday night.
According to the Sanjeev Reddy Nagar police, S Krishna was an auto driver and resident of Mamidipally in Rangareddy district. Krishna was a TB patient and was admitted to the hospital on Thursday. Krishna was on the respiratory system. The nebulisation system was removed on Monday morning.
As Krishna's health deteriorated in the evening, his family members urged the hospital authorities to do something and save his life. The family alleged that the ward boy, Minnaiah, demanded a bribe of Rs 200 for giving oxygen to the patient. In the meantime, Krishna lost his life at 7.45 pm. Krishna's mother S Lakshmamma lodged a complaint with the SR Nagar police, who registered a case under section 304 (punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of IPC against the ward boy.
