Pavan Kumar, a prominent businessman from Jalandhar, suffered serious negligence at the hands of doctors at Shriman Hospital. After complaining of minor chest pain, he underwent a checkup at Shriman Hospital (now Fortis Shriman Superspeciality Hospital) in Jalandhar. However, the hospital report diagnosed him with a serious condition called “DVD” (Double Vessel Disease), which he did not actually have.
Pawan Kumar stated that he only had minor chest pain and was subsequently discharged. However, the serious condition listed in the report not only affected his mental health but also resulted in the rejection of his health insurance claim. When Pawan Kumar contacted the hospital regarding the issue, Dr. VP Sharma admitted his mistake and corrected the report.
Although Pawan Kumar later presented the corrected report to his insurance company, Star Health Insurance, the company still rejected his claim. Pawan Kumar has filed a case in the Consumer Forum against Shriman Hospital and Star Health Insurance, as he suffered mental distress and trauma for several days.
Demand for Action Against Shriman Hospital and Star Health Insurance
Pawan Kumar stated that this negligence not only caused him mental distress but also affected his valid insurance. He is now taking legal action against Shriman Hospital and Star Health Insurance and has filed a complaint in the Consumer Forum. This case has become an example of hospital negligence and incompetence on the part of health insurance companies. Pawan Kumar’s complaint clearly demonstrates that medical errors can result in significant mental and financial losses for patients, and consumers deserve justice in such cases. It’s worth noting that a previous case was reported at Patel Hospital where a patient was prescribed banned medications.

Due to medical negligence at Patel Hospital in Jalandhar, Nitika Kaushal suffered serious injuries. The District Consumer Forum has ordered the hospital to pay ₹750,000 in compensation. The court also directed the complainant to pay ₹20,000 in court fees.
The complaint filed by the complainant, Nitika Kaushal, wife of Gaurav, Ladori Nurpur, stated that she began seeking treatment at Patel Hospital in July 2022 after experiencing stomach pain. The hospital diagnosed her with stomach and kidney stones and performed an operation.
Despite being admitted for approximately one and a half months, Nitika’s health continued to deteriorate. Her creatinine level increased, and she required frequent blood purification. Vinay Soni, the complainant’s lawyer, stated that the hospital doctors prescribed her banned medications during her pain, which further worsened her health.
