According to a complaint lodged by the child's father with the police, the ward boy who was alone on duty was irritated by the boy's crying and broke his leg. However, the parents didn't immediately realise that the baby's leg had been broken.
The family became aware of the incident after the baby was referred to another hospital and the doctors there diagnosed a fracture. The appalling act was recorded on CCTV footage of the private hospital.
