The Medical College police on Thursday arrested a doctor and two nurses based on an investigation into the complaint by K.K. Harshina, the victim of a ‘botched C-Section surgery’ at the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital. After recording the arrest of the three — C.K. Rameshan, M. Rehana, and K.G. Manju — the police also submitted their report to the Kunnamangalam Judicial First Class Magistrate Court.
The arrest of the fourth suspect, M. Shahana, would be recorded later as she did not turn up for interrogation at the police station on Thursday. According to police sources, Dr. Shahana, currently working at the Kottayam Medical College Hospital, complained of health issues to secure exemption.
Ahead of the arrest charging medical negligence, the statements of the three including Dr. Rameshan were recorded by the police team. They were later granted bail. According to the police, the two doctors and two nurses named in the chargesheet were on duty when Ms. Harshina’s C- section took place at the Kozhikode Government Medical College Hospital in 2017. In the investigation, the finding was that a pair of artery forceps were stuck in Harshina’s stomach during the surgery.
