MALDA, June 9: The death of a patient at a private nursing home in the English Bazaar town last night led to a clash between the locals who blamed the doctors for negligence and police. The Malda SP, Mr Dilip Kumar Mondal, finally apologised to appease the mob and bring the situation under control. Mr Mondal said that the altercation arose after agitated neighbours of a female patient who died after giving birth to a child assembled at the private nursing home last night. As per the statement of the attending doctors with the police, the patient died owing to heavy bleeding after the operation. The new-born was declared normal and healthy. Mr Mondal said that despite supplying two bottles of blood in the patient’s body, the profuse bleeding continued, as the blood would not clot. The SP said that on hearing the death news, angry neighbours of the patient started an agitation alleging doctors’ negligence. In order to avoid any untoward incident, the inspector-in-charge of English Bazaar rushed to the spot and conducted a lathi-charge to disperse the mob.
