Allahabad: Patient’s death sparks tension at SRN Hospital

PRAYAGRAJ: The death of a 21-year-old Mirzapur woman, whose family members had levelled charge of sexual harassment against doctors at a government hospital while she was undergoing operation recently, sparked off tension on SRN hospital campus and adjoining areas under the limits of Kotwali police station on Tuesday.
The woman breathed her last at the SRN Hospital on Tuesday morning.
Heavy police force was deployed on SRN Hospital campus to deal with any untoward incident.
Meanwhile, a delegation of Residents Doctors’ Association, MLN Medical College, Prayagraj on Tuesday afternoon handed over a memorandum to the inspector general of police (Prayagraj range) K P Singh demanding action against a group of people, including some leaders of a political party, for making abortive attempt to tarnish the image of doctors and SRN Hospital through social media regarding the charges levelled by the family of the girl recently.
The IG assured the delegation to conduct a detailed probe into the incident.
The delegation in its letter submitted to IG wrote that the patient hailing from Mirzapur was admitted to SRN hospital on May 29 following an ailment of the intestines.
The doctors operated upon her in the night on May 31.
Later, on June 2, a close relative of the patient alleged through social media that his cousin sister was gang raped while she was being taken for an operation of her intestines.
Following the allegation, two separate committees were set up by MLN Medical College authorities and chief medical officer (CMO) Prayagraj separately and both the committees found the allegation baseless.The committees questioned all the doctors and medical staff present during the operation and found the allegations do not hold any ground.
The MLN Medical College authorities too said that three lady doctors and a female para-medical staff were also present during the operation.
(The victim’s identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme Court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
