Couple complain about false HIV report

A village couple who were socially boycotted after a private lab in Kangra district ruled the wife HIV positive,which was later proved wrong by re-test at RPMC Tanda.

A village couple who were socially boycotted after a private lab in Kangra district ruled the wife HIV positive,which was later proved wrong by re-test at RPMC Tanda,has registered a police complaint for mental harassment and gross medical negligence under Sections 336,304(a),504 and 506 IPC with the Kangra police station. Anubala,wife of Satish Chaudhary,underwent mental trauma after a test report of a private lab showed her HIV positive. Later Anubala underwent a Cesarean section in the emergency wing of RPMC Tanda on the basis of the private lab’s faulty report. In 24 hours,they lost their new-born child. It was only after the operation and vasectomy,and the death of their child,that the government hospital tested the couple and found them both negative. “Chaudhary in his complaint has sought action against the doctors who had attended to his wife and were on duty in the gynaecology unit at RPMC Tanda the day his wife was operated on the basis of a false HIV positive report given by a private lab,” said Kangra ASP Omapati Jamwal.
