The parents had to attend a wedding on Thursday early morning, so the doctors told them that they will take care of the girl. “A doctor named Kalpana told us on Wednesday that they will take care of our daughter and asked us to go attend the wedding. I and my wife left for the wedding. I called every half an hour to check on her health. They kept saying she is fine,” he said.

But on Wednesday night, when Bhagyasri’s condition started deteriorating, Herbocare hospital doctors took her to another private hospital without informing her parents.

On Thursday morning, when the father called the doctor around 9 am, he said that Bhagyasri is better and is drinking soup. “We were happy that her condition was improving but after an hour, an ambulance arrived at our house with our daughter’s dead body,” said Shakthi.

However, “The girl died around 10:30 pm on Wednesday. We did not inform them thinking that they were attending a wedding on Thursday early morning. We informed the parents about the death around 6 am. The girl was critical on Wednesday that is why we took her to another hospital where they declared her dead. We had given her proper treatment,” said Naveen Balaji, a doctor from Herbocare hospital.

A complaint has been filed at the Kavindapadi police station by Bhagyasri’s father Shakthi alleging that the girl died due to wrong treatment. Police said that the case has been filed Section 174 of CrPc (Police to enquire) and an action can only be taken after the post-mortem report is out.
