"We do not accept the preliminary report by the committee headed by medical superintendent D K Sharma. We will wait for the new broad-based Committee, which was constituted yesterday, under the chairmanship of Dr S C Sharma, HoD ENT at AIIMS to submit its report.
"We also had carried out an inquiry after the incident and we have some evidences which we will bring out in the public domain once the right time comes. This is a clear cut case of negligence which led to death of nurse Rajbir Kaur and we want justice for her," Harish Kumar Kajla, President of the Nurses Union said.
AIIMS administration had yesterday revoked the suspension of the five resident doctors after the Resident Doctors Association (RDA) went on partial strike and also threatened to shut all services including the emergency and critical care services if the order was not rolled back within 24 hours.
