Jajpur: On Tuesday, a 6-year-old boy died after allegedly receiving a 'wrong injection' from a quack in a village in the Dasarathpur area of Odisha's Jajpur district.
The incident was reported from Mugapada village, which falls under the jurisdiction of the district's Dasarathpur police station. Omm Mallick, son of Surendra Mallick, has been identified as the deceased.
According to sources, the boy, who was suffering from diarrhoea, was taken by his family to Mitu Pati's medicine store in Mandrakhand square. The shopkeeper allegedly gave the boy two injections without a doctor's prescription, after which Omm went unconscious. He was rushed to Jajpur's district headquarters hospital (DHH), where doctors pronounced him dead.
The boy's family has filed a complaint with the Dashrathpur police station, alleging that the owner of the medicine shop was responsible for his death. The owner of the medicine store is said to be missing, and efforts are being made to find him.
"Our son was suffering from diarrhoea, so we took him to the pharmacy." "The shop owner gave the boy two injections, and he died," said Kunalata Mallick, the deceased's mother.
