Hospital not guilty for dumping martyrs' uniform

Published on: 

Dr BR Ambedkar Memorial Hospital (BRAMH) is not responsible for dumping the blood-stained uniform of CRPF men in garbage this week after they were martyred in Sukma district in a Naxal attack, a senior officer of the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) here said on Saturday.

“The hospital is not guilty at all because the CRPF troopers who brought the deceased troopers bodies for post-mortem were asked to collect the belongings of deceased jawans, however, they failed to do so,’’ DME Pratap Singh told The Pioneer.

The incident regarding dumping of martyrs uniform and boots in garbage at the hospital premise had created an outrage in the State earlier this week and the DME had set up a three-member team headed by Dr NK Gandhi to go into the matter. The report has been handed over to DME on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Chhattisgarh Government has already ordered a magisterial probe into the matter. Sub-divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Raipur Suresh Kumar Agrawal has been asked to conduct a probe into the entire matter and submit his report within 15 days. The CRPF too has ordered for a separate probe into the incident.
