Gurugram: The 40-year-old Scooter Rider has met with an accident near the Honda Chowk hero, dead allegedly after the police team directed the ambulance that had stopped at a private hospital closest to government facilities within 5 km.
A doctor at a private hospital said the man, who suffered a sad head injury, “very alive” when he was picked up with an ambulance.
He alleged that the police had stopped the driver of the ambulance from presenting a sad-wounded man in the emergency ward of private health facilities.
However, the police argued that Deepchand Pandey had died at the accident itself.
Around 1:30 a.m.
on Tuesday, a pedestrian found Pandey lying on the road and heavy bleeding from the wound.
He told the police and called for an ambulance from Ayushman Hospital, which was only 1.5 km from the accident.
The ambulance reached a few minutes, took Pandey and rushed back to the hospital before the police arrived.
Just as the ambulance driver will bring Pandey out of the vehicle and take him into an emergency ward, the police team won there.
They allegedly scolded the driver for bringing victims of accidents to private facilities and asked him to go to a civil hospital in sector 10, 5 km away.
In a civil hospital, he was declared dead on arrival.
A video supposedly showed several police slammed the ambulance door and shouted at the driver widely circulated on social media.
The Supreme Court’s decision said that accident victims must be given immediate care at the nearest hospital – both the government or private – even before the formalities were completed.
Dr.
Amar Chouhan at Ayushman Hospital said they received a call to tell them about an accident near the Honda Chowk hero at around 1:30 a.m.
“Ambulances and paramedics rushed to the place.
They took the patient, but before he could admit, the police asked the driver to take him to a government hospital,” he added.
According to Dr.
Chouhan, Pandey was very bloody from the nose when the ambulance reached the accident.
“He was seriously injured, but very alive.
As a doctor, I can say that death can be prevented with timely care,” he said.
“We don’t bring a corpse to our hospital.
We bring patients to save their lives.” Dr.
Chouhan questioned the police’s decision to direct the ambulance.
“Who is the right person to receive a call in the health condition of the victims of the accident – a doctor or police?” He asked.
The police claimed Pandey driving his scooter without a helmet.
“The police asked the ambulance driver to bring patients to a civil hospital when he was dead.
Instead, he took him to a private facility.
The police then told him to take the patient to a government hospital,” said Subhash, a spokesman for Gurugram.
