Carelessness of the doctors ultimately led to his death, according to the family sources.
"Doctors had told us that a surgery needs to be conducted to take out the pus in his gums but unfortunately he didn't wake up after the surgery," said Hari KC, a relative of the deceased.
According to family members, the doctors were supposed to give antibiotics 24 hours before the surgery. However, they didn't. Twenty-one-year-old son of Aryal is lying unconscious in hospital after the death of his father. Family members and relatives are refusing to claim the body accusing the doctors of the death. "We will claim the dead body only if the hospital administration along with the doctors holds a meeting with us," said Shovakhar Giri, chairperson of Malika-6.
Tensions ran high in the hospital on Wednesday after Aryal's death. Security personnel has been deployed at the hospital to avoid any kind of untoward incident.
