A doctor of the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences has been ordered by a New Delhi court to be prosecuted for his alleged negligence in administering injections to a woman leading to amputation of her four left hand fingers.

Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) T S Kashyap set aside the magisterial court's order and directed it to summon Dr Brijesh of IHBAS as accused of causing grievous hurt by his negligent act and endangering the life of the patient.

The ASJ's order came on an appeal by Shahdara resident Munni who had gone to IHBAS for treatment of her daughter who used to get fits.

The woman alleged the doctors had asked her to get the magnetic resonance imaging done and at that time two injections were given to her daughter Neeru Chauhan after which her left hand had turned blue and it had also swelled.
The case was referred by IHBAS to several government hospitals including AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital where it was detected that the veins of the victim's left hand had been blocked due to wrong administration of injection which resulted into amputation of four fingers.
