Rida was the first fatality of H1N1 Influenza virus (swine flu) in India.
Her family has filed a written complaint against two private hospitals’ directors alleging medical negligence in diagnosing Rida’s illness on time.
“We have filed a complaint against the directors of Jahangir Hospital, Ruby Hall and Dr Sanjay Agarwal,” said Rida's aunt's lawyer, advocate Asif Lampwala.
However, the police have reportedly refused to file an FIR until the Health Department completes its investigation.
“Action will be taken only after we get reports of a three-member committee appointed by the Health Department,” said inspector Suhas Nadgouda.
