Doctor who killed mum during routine hospital procedure is struck off

Mrs Parveen died at the age of 48 after attending the hospital for a routine bone marrow biopsy. But she died after Mamman carried out a 'highly dangerous procedure' rarely used in the UK, instead of using the conventional technique.
