Anantnag, June 9: Police registered a case against a family for damaging infrastructure at a hospital here in South Kashmir’s Anantnag district.

Sources said that a 27-year-old lady (name withheld), wife of Reyaz Ahmed Dar, a resident of Mohripora Achabal area allegedly consumed some poisonous substance at her residence. The family members evacuated her to Sub-District Hospital Achabal.
