Bengaluru : A serious case of alleged medical negligence has emerged from Metro United Healthcare Hospital, where Dr. Tejasvi has been accused of providing false information and negligent treatment, leading to the death of a woman named Sujatha in 2021. The victim’s family has filed multiple complaints with the Chief Minister, Health Minister, Home Minister, and other authorities, demanding justice.
According to the complaint, Sujatha was admitted to the hospital under false pretenses and kept there for 15 days. Despite having a mild condition, her CT scan report was allegedly altered to show severe illness, and she was subjected to inappropriate treatment. The family also claims that no proper medical records were provided, no receipts were issued for payments, and the hospital demanded additional money after handing over the deceased’s body. The family has reportedly submitted mobile recordings as evidence, showing discrepancies in medical records, including the CT scan report, treatment charts, and consultant notes.
After a complaint was filed on August 22, 2024, the state government ordered an investigation. However, the victim’s family alleges that the inquiry conducted by the Shivamogga District Health and Family Welfare Department was biased in favor of Dr. Tejasvi. Despite a second review, the committee again failed to thoroughly examine all medical records, reportedly under political influence. The family claims that Dr. Tejasvi, who is allegedly the son-in-law of former Deputy Chief Minister K.S. Eshwarappa, has been protected due to political interference.
With no justice forthcoming, the victims have now approached the government, requesting a COD investigation into the case. They have also stated that if justice is not served, they will seek permission for euthanasia. The State Social Liberty Forum has taken up the issue and held a press conference at the Bangalore Press Club, demanding strict action against the accused doctor and ensuring justice for the victim’s family.
The organization has urged the government to conduct a thorough probe, scrutinize all medical records, and hold accountable those responsible for the alleged negligence. The fight for justice will continue until the government intervenes and takes decisive action, said M.S. Mohinuddin, State President of the forum.
