ARA---------------------------A tragic incident highlighting the state of healthcare has emerged from Ara, Bihar. Phulkumari Devi (30), a resident of Belghat village under the Mufassil police station area, died under suspicious circumstances after receiving an injection at a private clinic. The incident has left a happy family in deep shock.

According to reports, Phulkumari Devi had visited a private clinic in Dhobaha Bazaar on Monday afternoon, complaining of ordinary leg pain. Her family alleges that the quack (unqualified practitioner) present at the clinic administered an injection without conducting any prior medical examination. Her condition deteriorated rapidly immediately after the injection, and she passed away within moments. The woman, who had walked to the clinic on her own just hours earlier, ultimately had to be carried back home on the shoulders of others. The deceased's son, Anuj Kumar, stated that his mother had gone to a clinic for treatment after returning from the market around 12 PM; there, the doctor administered an injection and advised her to return in two days. Following the incident, locals and enraged family members created a massive uproar at the clinic. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the Mufassil police arrived, brought the situation under control, and sent the body to Ara Sadar Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Post-mortem report to reveal the truth: Police authorities state that the exact cause of death will only be known once the post-mortem report is received. Currently, a thorough investigation is underway based on the serious allegations leveled by the family.

Deceased's husband works in Gujarat: This heart-wrenching incident has left the deceased's three children motherless. Her husband, Rajan Prasad, works as a welder in a factory in Gujarat to support the family. Meanwhile, the entire family is devastated and inconsolable upon hearing the news of this tragedy.
