Medical negligence in Delhi: Prof seeks Gogoi's help in probe
Advertisement
Over two months after Delhi government started an inquiry into alleged medical negligence that killed his wife, an academic from Assam has urged Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi to prod his counterpart Arvind Kejriwal into expediting the probe.
"I want the Assam chief minister to take up the issue with the Delhi chief minister to expedite the probe in the case of my wife's death caused by medical negligence in Delhi," Ankuran Dutta, a professor at Gauhati University, told IANS on Friday.
The Delhi government had in November started an inquiry into the death of Anamika Ray, the 36-year-old wife of Dutta's, who died of blood infection and heart attack in July 2015 allegedly after undergoing a wrong surgery at two Delhi-based hospitals.
A senior Delhi government official had then said that action was being taken on the complaint forwarded by Chief Minister Kejriwal's office.
Ray, also a professor at Gauhati University, had died at Golden Jaipur Hospital after being shifted from another Delhi-based hospital at a critical stage.
