The death of a 22-year-old tribesperson from Kutukappara, Kannur, has triggered a row after his relatives alleged delay in giving medical treatment to the youth who was suffering from jaundice.
The family of the deceased, identified as Rajesh, contended that the delay occurred both at the Iritty taluk hospital and the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH), Kannur.
Rajesh had initially sought treatment at the Iritty taluk hospital on Friday. His relatives claimed that the blood test results were delayed, raising concerns about the initial diagnosis and treatment.
