Yet another high drama happened at the Government Multi-Specialty Hospital,Sector 16,when the family members of a patient who died at the hospital early in the morning on Thursday alleged negligence on the part of the hospital authorities.

According to sources,Parvez,an 18-year-old youngster from Nayagaon,was brought to the Emergency wing of the hospital after midnight when he complained of stomach pain.

Following this,doctors started his treatment and gave him injection and medicines. He died about 5.45 am.

Sources say that initially,the family members took the body home as they said that they did not suspect any foul play. Later,about 8 am,Sonu,the brother of the deceased,returned with about two dozen persons and started creating a ruckus in the hospital levelling allegations of negligence on the part of the nurses and doctors.
