Mangalore : The ABVP staged a protest in front of the AB Shetty Circle in Mangalore on September 17, Monday demanding action against  doctors at the JS Hospital at Kotekar for their alleged negligence which claimed the life of  Deepika, a second PUC student  of  St Ann’s College in Mangalore.

Addressing the agitators,  Ramesh, State Secretary of  ABVP, said there have been reports that Deepika’s condition had worsened after she was given an injection and added those responsible for her death must be  punished.

The ABVP also demanded a thorough probe into the case and also compensation to the family of the deceased.

It may be recalled here that Deepika had been admitted to the JS Hospital at Kotekar following complaints of severe vomiting. However, she died the very next day.
