India, Sept. 25 -- Police in Gurugram have booked a staff member at a physiotherapy and rehabilitation centre in Sector 46 after a seven-year-old boy's femur bone was left "shattered into pieces" during a therapy session, allegedly due to the application of "excessive weight," officials said on Wednesday.

According to officials, the incident took place on September 15, when the child -- who has developmental delays and walking difficulties -- was put under a heavy machine during therapy. The session shattered his femur, leaving him in need of urgent surgery, investigators privy to the case details said on Wednesday.

The boy later underwent an operation at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi and remains under medical care.
