The parents of a nine-year-old boy who was recently admitted to a sub-district hospital in Thane for leg surgery claimed on Thursday that he had been mistakenly circumcised instead. They have filed a complaint with the hospital and police, alleging that the doctors got confused due to the presence of other patients in a similar age group. While doctors claim that they were in the right as the boy had an infection on his penis, his parents firmly deny this. An inquiry has been initiated under the supervision of Dr Kailas Pawar, civil surgeon of Thane Civil Hospital.
According to the boy’s parents, he is a Std IV student who goes to a civic school in Shahapur. His father is a daily wage labourer while his mother is a domestic help job for livelihood. “In the last week of May, my son went to school. While returning back around 5 pm, he and his classmates go to a playground. He was hit by a stone on his left leg there. We took him to the OPD of the sub-district hospital where doctors prescribed a few medicines,” said the boy’s mother, a 30-year-old.
