The police on Wednesday arrested three doctors in connection with the death of a woman and her newborn following complications during childbirth at Thangam Hospital here in July.
The death of Aiswarya, wife of M. Ranjit from Chittur-Thathamangalam, had kicked up a furore, with many raising banners of protest against the doctors and the hospital. The government had ordered an investigation by a medical board.
The police arrested gynaecologists Priyadarshini, Nila and Ajith S. after the report submitted by the medical board found that Aiswarya was a victim of medical negligence. The arrested doctors were later released on bail.
