Hyderabad: A case of Nizamabad medical negligence came to light after a young man died during an ear surgery at a private hospital in the district, triggering protests by his family members.
The deceased was identified as Gangam Ajay from Pallikonda village in Bheemgal mandal of Nizamabad district. Ajay had been admitted to a private hospital on Tuesday (February 24) with severe ear pain. After examining him, doctors advised immediate surgery.

Family members said Ajay was stable when he was admitted. They alleged that the hospital failed to handle complications after giving anaesthesia. As a result, they held the medical staff responsible for the tragedy.
