In a tragic incident in Nalgonda on Sunday, a 13-year-old boy, Sabavath Jashwanth, died after allegedly being administered an IV injection from a Rural Medical Practitioner (RMP).
Jashwanth, a resident of Peddapur village in Nampally mandal, had been experiencing symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, and cold. Concerned about his deteriorating health, Jashwanth’s grandfather rushed him to ‘Srinivas Reddy First Aid Centre.’
There, a medical professional, identified as Krishna, administered him an intravenous (IV) injection. Moments after taking the injection, Jashwanth began to sweat and subsequently collapsed. He was then rushed to a nearby private hospital, where he was declared brought dead.
