Madhya Pradesh: Head Constable's Kin Blame Private Hospital For His Death

Satna (Madhya Pradesh): The relatives of the dead head constable Prince Garg have made serious allegations against a private hospital.

A youth shot at Garg on the Jaitwara police station premises in Satna district on the night of April 28.

He died of injuries in a private hospital in New Delhi. Garg’s wife Babita said the doctors of Minerva Hospital had claimed that they had taken out the bullet that had hit him.

But the postmortem report said the bullet was stuck in the body. The doctors of Max Hospital in Delhi had also said the same thing. Babita alleged Minerva Hospital had asked her to deposit Rs 10 lakh for her husband’s treatment.

The hospital informed Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla and senior officers that the bullet had been taken out of the body and the patient was recovering.

The doctors in Delhi hospital, however, said his body parts had developed gangrene. The patient was brain dead, the doctors said.

According to the relatives of Garg, if he had received proper treatment, he would have survived. A youth named Adarsh Sharma shot Garg inside the Jaitwara police station.

His colleagues took Garg to the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Rewa. His relatives then admitted him to Minerva Hospital.

But Garg’s conditions deteriorated. His family members took him to Max Hospital in Delhi where he died. The head constable’s relatives demanded an investigation into the case.

Dr Dharmesh Patel of Minerva Hospital said the hospital had made all efforts to save the life of the head constable Prince Garg.

He was brought to the hospital in a bad condition from the government-run Sanjay Gandhi Hospital.
