Tirupati:

In a case of gross negligence by medical authorities, a two-year-old girl was seen taken on a bike from a hospital after authorities denied the family ambulance service to take her body. The girl died after accidentally falling into the gravel pit.

Tirupati district Superintendent of Police (SP), Parameshwar Reddy said to ANI, "A two-year-old girl, who died in Tirupati was brought to the hospital. The doctors declared that the girl was brought dead. So the family members asked for an ambulance service for which the hospital authorities refused as hospital authorities claimed that their rules do not allow them to take dead bodies."

"The family didn't inquire about another ambulance or auto. They left with the body on the bike. The family didn't complain about that," added SP.

Further probe into the matter is underway.
