He said that Neeraj Prakash generated another report where the reference range was revised to 313-618, but did not answer any queries about the previous report and the unnecessary subjection of the child to harmful tests.
He contended that due to one wrong report, the family had to undergo acute mental trauma and the child was wrongfully exposed to harmful radiations, whose after-effects are still unknown. He said Rutvi was still traumatised and afraid to go to hospital.
The court has directed police to register a case, investigate the matter and submit a report on or before Jan 25.
"We are investigating the case," police officer Vijay Kumar told IANS.
Meanwhile, an official spokesperson for Fortis said: "We have just got the information and are yet to know the contents of the complaint."
"However, we would like to assure the relatives that the diagnostic results and scans in respect of the patient are accurate, among the most benign and well under the safety limits prescribed," he said.
