In a shocking incident at Mallareddy Hospital in Hyderabad, RTV reporters were physically attacked while attempting to cover the death of a woman, Madhavi, whose body was allegedly subjected to treatment after her passing. The hospital management reportedly assaulted the reporters, confiscated their camera, and caused injuries to the reporter.
Madhavi, who had been admitted to the hospital on the 4th of this month for kidney stone surgery, passed away after the procedure failed. Her relatives have accused the hospital staff of continuing to treat her body, claiming that they were misled into believing the treatment was still ongoing. The family alleges that the failure of the surgery was concealed, and they were told that Madhavi was on a ventilator for treatment.
Relatives also accuse junior doctors of negligence, which they say led to the failure of the surgery. In protest, the family staged a demonstration outside the hospital, demanding its closure. Madhavi leaves behind two young children, now orphaned, due to the alleged negligence of the hospital.
The District Medical and Health Officer (DMHO) has launched an investigation into the matter.
