Gurugram:In a heartbreaking incident, a four-year-old child died in Haryana's Gurugram on Tuesday after being hit by his school van. The boy, identified as Siddharth, suffered grievous injuries when the school van driver backed up the vehicle without checking his surroundings, causing the van to run over the child. Speaking about the incident, Gulshan Singh, the boy's father, alleged that the death of his son had to do with both the school van incident and the subsequent medical negligence.
"There was no conductor in the van. The driver helped him get down and reversed the vehicle without noticing that the child was still behind the van. We brought him to the hospital, but the hospital staff fooled us for nearly two hours. They are the ones who called the police. My son was stable till that point and even implored us to take him back home. The hospital sent an ambulance nearly four hours after we requested it. We got him admitted by paying them Rs 6,000. After this, they told us that he had passed away. Whatever happened occurred due to medical negligence," Singh said.
