Six-month-old girl dies in Karnataka after quack administers injections
Bengaluru: A quack in his 50s has landed in police custody in Ramanagara, Bengaluru south district, on charges of causing death of a six-month-old girl by administering injections. The accused is identified as Mohammed Saifulla, who ran his Alkhair Foundation Clinic in Balageri. Based on a complaint filed by the child's father, Ramanagara Town police booked Saifulla under BNS Section 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder). Saifulla lived in Balagere with his wife, police said. District health officials raided his clinic and seized it. Health officer Dr Niranjan declared him a quack. "He has no licence, nor has he studied MBBS. He could be a pharmacist, which we have to verify. But whatever the case, he is not a doctor and cannot treat patients," he said. Saifulla has been handed over to judicial custody. "We will take him to police custody during investigation, which will begin soon," a senior cop said. Police suspect Saifulla has been running his illegal clinic for close to a year, and locals thought he was a general physician. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The incident occurred when R Shivaraj, a driver, took his six-month-old daughter Sharanya to Saifulla on Tuesday night. "The child had a cyst on her right thigh. After examining her, Saifulla administered two injections. We returned home, but the child started crying and developed breathing problems. We called Saifulla, but he casually said the child would cry from the pain of injections. For breathing issues, he asked us to use nasal drops. But she continued to cry. However, after 5am, she slept. The following morning (Wednesday), we took her to another doctor, and he declared her brought dead. Shocked, we sought an explanation from Saifulla, but he just asked us to take the child to a govt hospital and said nothing when we told him that she died due to his treatment," Shivaraj stated in his complaint.

Tent mishap death: Police arrest manager, supervisor
Kozhikode: Meppadi Police, on Friday, arrested Swachand and Anurag, the manager and supervisor of Tentgram's tourism facility at Thollayiram Kandi in Wayanad.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Nishma was part of a 16-member group that went on a one-day trip to Wayanad with her friends. Police first registered a case of unnatural death but later added after a preliminary probe found safety violations. Meppadi SHO said the wooden poles of the hut-like structure were old and weak. It is believed that the structure, which had a thatched roof made of dried grass, collapsed under its own weight after the area received heavy rain early on Thursday morning. Meanwhile, Kalpetta MLA T Siddique wrote a letter to tourism minister PA Mohamed Riyas, urging the govt to act against unsafe tourism activities that have caused repeated deaths. Siddique also sought steps to assist Nishma's family as she was their only source of support Her father, who had a regular job in Jeddah, is now in prison after his residence permit (Iqama) expired. Siddique said the incident exposed serious lapses at such facilities. He pointed out that letting tourists stay in tents without checking their age or safety is a major issue. He also said the state govt's 2023 decision to allow such facilities to operate without approval from local bodies needs serious review.
