They demanding that the doctors and other staff involved be expelled and a murder case be lodged against them. With this demand, they held a march to the hospital. The police stopped them and attempted to arrest the protesters in front of the hospital gate.
Imbrahim Feizi Jediyar, district chief of SKSSF, Rasheed Belinja, general secretary, Aboobkar Salood Nazami, Haris Daarimi, M A Khaleel, and Hasim Hadi led the protest.
Sharif was died due to the negligence of hospital authorities when administering him an injection. On Friday, his body was sent to Pariyaram Medical College hospital for post mortem.
Sharif was a cardiac patient and doctors had advised him to get a Pencom-12 injection every 21 days. But the protestors claimed that the doctors administered the injection directly into his arm without first giving a test dose. That injection was not supplied in Kasargaod, but Sharif had purchased it from Mangalore, and he died due to the doctors’ negligence and misdeeds, they claimed.
Even local MLA, N A Nellikunnu made an appeal and gave a memorandum to the chief minister and health minister of Kerala to investigate the matter.
