A 64-year-old senior Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) professor, a cancer patient, died at the varsity's hospital after the authorities could not arrange an ambulance for him for over six hours, bringing the establishment under the lens for medical negligence once again.

Professor D Murthy's doctors at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC) had advised that he be shifted to a Delhi hospital after his condition deteriorated following surgery on Sunday. Murthy was the chairman of AMU's department of modern Indian languages. 

Last month, five doctors of JNMC were booked for negligence after a student died of dengue during treatment at the hospital.
