Mumbai, September 14: In a shocking incident, a 40-year-old auto driver, Nantun Jha, died in Chembur, Mumbai, after allegedly being administered a wrong injection by a man posing as a doctor. Jha had initially sought treatment for a severe toothache at a charitable clinic, but his pain worsened the following day. He was taken to Om Clinic, where the accused gave him an injection and medicines. Soon after, Jha developed breathing difficulties and was rushed to Sion Hospital, where he was declared dead. The accused, Dr Ramesh Vishwakarma, was later found to be unregistered and has been booked by Chunabhatti police.

According to The Indian Express report, the case came to light after Jha’s wife, Sharmiladevi, raised concerns about the treatment he received. She alleged that Vishwakarma had administered the injection without proper consultation and gave vague answers when questioned about her husband’s deteriorating condition. The family approached the BMC health department, which confirmed that Vishwakarma was not a registered medical practitioner. Mumbai Shocker: After Consensual Sex, Santacruz Man Rapes and Extorts Married Woman From Rajkot As She Tries To Part Ways; Arrested.

The FIR states that Jha had undergone a tooth extraction at the Lions Club Charitable Trust clinic on December 7, but continued working the next day, which worsened his condition. When he visited Om Clinic on December 8, Vishwakarma administered a 625 mg tablet and an injection, claiming it would relieve the pain. However, Jha’s symptoms intensified, leading to severe breathing difficulties. Mumbai Shocker: Woman Conspires With Lover To Kill Husband in Goregaon After He Confronts Her Over Extramarital Affair, Arrested After Daughter Reveals Truth About Father's Murder.
