She alleges the condition of her son, Indranil, who is under going dialysis for the failure of both his kidneys at Ganga Ram Hospital and is awaiting an organ transplant, worsened due to Dr Mukherjee's faulty treatment. She said the doctor, from Harinagar in west Delhi, fooled them by claiming association with the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and treated their son for two months.
"Indranil was being treated at CMC Vellore and was under dialysis. A distant relative, Ishani Banerjee who is a resident of Kalkaji, told us about the doctor and fixed an appointment. Dr Mukherjee claimed he was working with AIIMS Hospital. He assured us my son would recover soon. He stopped Indranil's dialysis and prescribed medicines which worsened his health," said Sadhukhan.
