In a shocking incident, a 45-day-old baby boy of a remote tribal village in Karakagudem mandal died after a botched treatment by a local quack on Tuesday.
Sources said that a tribal couple from Aswapurampadu approached a quack for treatment of their ailing child, two days ago.
The quack, the self-styled healer, allegedly administered a ‘concoction’ to the boy on the pretext of curing a recurring diarrhoea. He allegedly inflicted an external bite injury on the boy’s stomach making outlandish claims of curing the child’s abdominal pain, sources added.
