Tension ran high at Rapti Community Hospital in Rukum West after a patient died during treatment on Monday.

Friends and relatives of Kamal Rawal, 27, of Triveni Rural Municipality-9 vandalised the hospital following his death while in medical care. Rawal, who was the ward member of Triveni Rural Municipality-9, was hospitalised on Saturday with complaints of headache and body ache. His family claimed that he died after the hospital staff gave him wrong injection.

The hospital administration, however, refuted the allegation made by Rawal’s family.  (PR)
