ITBP officials meet Kanpur top cop seeking action in medical negligence case of jawan's mother
ITBP officials want a fresh inquiry after a hospital probe failed to clearly fix responsibility in the amputation of a jawan’s mother.
- On Saturday, May 23, Indo-Tibetan Border Police Commandant Gaurav Prasad met Kanpur Police Commissioner Raghubir Lal seeking action regarding alleged medical negligence at Krishna Super Speciality Hospital that resulted in constable Vikas Singh's mother's hand amputation.
- Singh alleges doctors at the hospital committed negligence while treating his 56-year-old mother, Nirmala Devi, for breathing complications. Severe infection following an injection necessitated amputation of her right hand at another private facility.
- Viral videos sparked reports claiming personnel had "surrounded" the Kanpur Police Commissionerate, but Gaurav Prasad denied the "rumours." He stated only a limited number of staff accompanied officers for security and the meeting occurred with prior permission.
- Commissioner Lal directed formation of a joint investigation committee to conduct a fresh, decisive fact-finding inquiry. Chief Medical Officer Haridatt Nemi will supervise the probe, examining medical records and statements to determine responsibility.
- Opposition leaders criticized the administration, alleging the incident points to a "complete failure of the justice system." The Uttar Pradesh government mandated the new inquiry to ensure transparency, with further legal action determined by investigation findings.
