Kanpur, May 26 -- The police on Monday registered FIRs against two private hospitals after a medical inquiry found both guilty of negligence in the treatment of an Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) constable's mother, whose arm had to be amputated following delayed and deficient care, said Kanpur commissioner of police (CP) Raghubir Lal. Lal also confirmed he had written to the ITBP director general (DG) seeking action against personnel, including a commandant, who arrived at the Kanpur police commissionerate on May 23 and took up what police described as an "intimidatory formation" outside his office. Lal said ITBP jawans standing in formation on the premises amounted to indiscipline and "sent a wrong message." The personnel were moved after police objected, he claimed. The FIRs were lodged against Krishna Hospital in Tatmil and Paras Hospital on Bithoor Road under Sections 125(b) and 271 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The first inquiry had returned an inconclusive finding. A second panel, comprising senior doctors, an ITBP representative and a trainee IPS officer, inspected both facilities, recorded doctors' statements and concluded that specialist advice was not sought in time and that treatment delays made amputation unavoidable. The patient, 56-year-old Nirmala Devi, is the mother of constable Vikas Singh, posted with the 32nd Battalion in Maharajpur. Singh was taking her to an ITBP-empanelled hospital on May 13 when traffic forced him to pull into Krishna Hospital. He alleges that a wrongly administered injection caused her arm to blacken and swell. She was transferred the following day to Paras Hospital, where doctors fought the infection for several days before amputating the arm on May 17. What brought the case into public view was not the amputation alone but what followed. For nearly three days Singh walked between police outposts, stations and the commissioner's office with his mother's amputated arm, demanding action. No response came until the commissioner of police intervened personally and ordered a fresh inquiry. The panel noted that Nirmala Devi had underlying cardiac complications and that clotting had cut off circulation to the arm - but found that timely specialist consultation could have altered the outcome....
