Ahmednagar: The post-graduate medical student and 3 staff nurses arrested in connection with the fire in the ICU of the Ahmednagar civil hospital have been granted bail by a court in Ahmednagar on Friday.
Ahmednagar district judge M R Natu granted bail to the doctor along with the nurses on a surety and personal bond of Rs 25,000 each.
The arrest of the healthcare professionals under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 304A (causing death by negligence) after a major fire in the facility killing 11 people was followed by massive outcry.
Previously Medical Dialogues reported that the doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff of the civil hospital in Ahmednagar went on a strike protesting against the arrest of a medical officer and three other staff nurses under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 304A (causing death by negligence). They were produced on the district court on November 24th.
This came in wake of the incident on November 6, the Ahmednagar district civil surgeon and three other health officials were suspended and the services of two staff nurses were also terminated. Later, authorities agreed to revoke the suspension of the doctor only.
