Chargesheet Filed Against Doctor for Alleged Medical Negligence in Chandigarh DeathPreviousNext

Chandigarh Police have filed a chargesheet against Dr Parminder Singh of Landmark Hospital for alleged medical negligence leading to the death of 74-year-old Amarjit Kaur following femur surgery in March 2024. The complaint, filed by her son, alleges failure to provide MRI-compatible implant certification, delaying critical diagnostics. While Dr Parminder faces prosecution under IPC Section 304A, three other doctors were cleared due to insufficient evidence. The case followed investigations including medical committee and PGI opinions.
