Four months after a 16-year-old died at a Vasai nursing home just a day after being admitted for dengue, the Manikpur police have booked the doctor for negligence.

A panel of the civil medical authority which, during its enquiry, studied the treatment given to the girl concluded that Dr Prakash Shinde of Prakash Nursing Home in Deendayal Nagar, Vasai West, had been extremely careless. The report, based on which the FIR has been filed, was given to Manikpur police on Wednesday.
