In a shocking incident, a baby has been manhandled by a ward boy of the private hospital in which the former had been admitted. The ward boy at a private hospital in Roorkee allegedly broke one of the legs of a three-day-old infant as he was annoyed with the baby crying incessantly.

The baby, who was born on 26th January 2017, suffered from certain respiratory problems due to which he had been admitted to the neo-natal ICU of the hospital. The ward boy was so irritated by the incessant crying of the child that in the early hours of January 28 he broke one of the baby’s legs when he was alone in the ward to keep guard.

A CCTV footage showed the hospital staffer relaxing at a room where the baby was kept under observation. A few minutes later when the baby started crying, the man walked up to the bed and brutally pulled the leg of the three-day-old to change the diaper. He casually continued with his work while the baby kept crying.

It came to light only after the child was referred to a hospital in Dehradun, where the doctors detected a fracture in one of its legs, he said. A purported video footage of the incident was also being shown on some of the news channels.
