An elderly man tragically died after falling from the roof of his house in Bhojpur district, leading to serious allegations of medical negligence from his family. The incident occurred after a spell of rain, when the 65-year-old victim, Ram Pravesh Singh, slipped from a staircase.

Singh, a resident of a locality in Ara, had gone to the roof of his house on Saturday evening after it rained. While descending the stairs, his foot slipped, causing him to fall and sustain severe injuries. He was immediately rushed to a local hospital for treatment. However, his family claims that the medical staff and doctors neglected his condition, leading to a deterioration in his health and ultimately his demise. They argue that timely and proper medical intervention could have saved his life and are demanding strict action against the hospital management for alleged negligence. The hospital administration, however, has refuted these claims, stating that all possible efforts were made to save the patient, but the severity of his injuries proved fatal.

The incident has cast a pall of gloom over the family. Local police have initiated an investigation into the matter, examining both the family's allegations and the hospital's statements to ascertain the truth. The exact cause of death is expected to be confirmed after the post-mortem report is released.
