Hi-Tech Medical College Hospital Blast: Student Union demands license Cancellation, Hospital owner's arrest

The Congress workers also sought compensation of Rs 50 lakhs each for the three workers who died in the explosion.

Meanwhile, BJP has also demanded monetary compensation for the victims' families and cancellation of license of the Hi-Tech Medical College.

The party also questioned how patients with 90 per cent burns could be treated at Hi-Tech Hospital which has no facility for burn patients.

The BJP also demanded that the hospital authorities should be booked under section 306 of the IPC (Abetment of suicide) for the suicide of victim Dillip Samantray's pregnant wife, Soumyashri Jena.

Notably, the hospital wrongly declared Samantray dead in place of another victim Jyoti Ranjan Mallik on December 30. A grief-stricken Soumyashri Jena died of suicide on January 1.  

On other hand, Samantray too succumbed to injuries on January 6. Three persons out of the four engaged in the repairing of the AC compressor of the Hospital have died after the blast occurred on December 29.
