A man died of wrong administration of injection by the attendant at the Damasahi Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Nayagarh district on Sunday. The deceased was identified as Tapan Kumar Kar, (42) of Sanagorada village under the Sarankul police station. As the villagers came to know about the incident, they rushed to the PHC and nabbed the attendant while he was trying to escape.
Following information, police rushed to the spot, but they were stopped by the villagers who blocked their vehicle for nearly four hours. The police managed to pacify the villagers after arresting the accused who was later forwarded to court. According to the villagers, the accused was seen roaming around with medicines that are supplied by the Government to hospitals, PHCs and CHCs.
It may be recalled that police had seized Government-supplied medicines from a private hospital of Gania town of the district while they were being sold at higher prices.
