One Amit Kumar Jena (24) of Baulapur village was residing at Kunjakanta here in a mess for taking coaching for banking job.
On January 29 morning, Amit felt some pain at the lower part of his body(waist). He consulted medicine specialist Dr Ajit Kumar Tripathy at his residence who is in leave after being transferred from Dhenkanal Headquarters Hospital. Dr Tripathy injected him Robi-D(Melto Carbamal and Diclofenac) mentioned in the prescription of Amit.
Sources said Amit again consulted Dr Tripathy, at about 2 pm as he experienced severe pain, after taking the injection. Dr Tripathy asked Amit to take admission at the Saraswati Lab which is promoted by him. Amit died at Saraswati lab while taking saline.
Relatives of deceased Amit, accused the doctor of having made wrong treatment leading to his death and filed an FIR at Sadar PS against the doctor and Saraswati lab.
Meanwhile, relatives of Amit alleged that Dhenkanal police were trying to suppress the incident. As the doctor has worked in Dhenkanal Headquarters Hospital for more than ten years and is known to all officials and political leaders, police are slow in the matter, they alleged.
Relatives, villagers and friends of Amit have urged the 5T Secretary to look to the matter personally.
