Alwar, Rajasthan – The General Hospital in Alwar reported the death of a local resident, Nirmal, during a routine medical procedure. According to family members, the patient was wearing earphones and received an injection before he collapsed and could not be revived.

In response to the perceived negligence, the family members gathered inside the hospital compound, demanding a thorough investigation and accountability from the medical personnel. The disturbance caused a temporary halt to outpatient services while security and police were called to restore order.
Hospital officials have not yet released an official statement, but a preliminary inquiry has been initiated by the district health authority to examine the circumstances surrounding the death.
