Blood bank ex-staffer arrested 6 months after children get HIV ‘following blood transfusion’

Five thalassemia-affected minors were allegedly administered infected blood from a hospital's blood bank, resulting in them testing positive for HIV. An investigation discovered that four more kids tested positive for HIV. The alleged lapse came to light after a minor tested positive for HIV. Police have arrested a man in connection with the case, which was initially not registered as an FIR despite a complaint.
