THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Health Minister KK Shailaja has made an appeal to the chief minister to conduct a police inquiry into the death of the one-and-a-half-year-old toddler suffering from a rare medical condition succumbed after undergoing treatment from the self-professed naturopath Mohanan.

The minister handed over the request to the Chief Minister.

The move follows the demand by the IMA state committee for registering a murder case against Vaidyar. It had also demanded that the parents of the infant should also be booked for subjecting the child to unscientific treatment.
