Gorakhpur tragedy: Grieving father files complaint against health minister
August 16, 2017
The father of a child, who died in Gorakhpur's BRD Medical College
tragedy, has filed a police complaint against the Health Minister, the
Medical Education Minister and the Principal Secretary Health in
Gorakhpur.
The father of the deceased child, Rajbhar, who hails from Gopalganj in Bihar had admitted his child for treatment on August 10.
Rajbhar,
in a letter, has claimed that his child died due to disruption of
oxygen supply and has blamed Health Minister Siddharth Nath Singh,
Medical Education Minister Ashutoh Tandon and Principal Secretary Health
Prashant Trivedi for the same.
He also alleged that no post-mortem was done after the child's death.
The complaint was filed on August 14, but no FIR has been registered as yet.
Chief
Minister Yogi Adityanath, meanwhile, has outrightly blamed the college
principal, Rajiv Mishra, for laxity in performing his duty.
He
also said that a team of top ministers was asked to determine if the
death of the children was actually due to a disruption in oxygen supply
at the hospital and assured to "not spare anyone found guilty". -- ANI
