Malda (WB):A mob ransacked a private nursing home here in Malda district following the death of a one-month-old girl due to alleged medical negligence, police said on Thursday.
The child was admitted to the nursing home on Wednesday after pus formed in her leg where a vaccine was injected after her birth, the girl's father Masidur Rahman said.
"She was alright till 10 pm. We were then forced to go home as the nursing home authorities did not allow us to stay with her. Late at night, they called up to inform that she is no more," he said.
Rahman claimed that the authorities failed to clearly say how the child died.
"When we wanted to watch the CCTV footages to know what had happened to her, it was found that the all the footages after 10 pm were deleted," he alleged.
Angry at the incident, a group of people then ransacked the reception area, doctors' chambers, pharmacy and the cash counter of the nursing home, police said.
