An FIR has been lodged in Dhanbad police station against the hospital operator, Dr Savita Shukla Das, her Pediatrics husband, Dr US Prasad and other staff members of the clinic.

“At around 2am I was informed by Dr Savita Shukla Das and other staff of the hospital that my wife developed some medical complications due to rupture of one vein during delivery and asked me to arrange for one unit of blood,” said Bhola Tiwari.

“I immediately brought the blood from the blood bank and but soon after returning I was informed by the hospital staff that one more unit of blood is required and I again went outside the hospital to bring the blood from the blood bank,” explained Tiwari.

While procuring the second unit of blood, he was informed by his sister-in-law that his wife had passed and the medical team was missing.

“I will be compelled to immolate myself in hospital if I don’t get justice and want immediate action on the guilty,” said Tiwari.

DSP Sarita Mumu said due course of action will be taken after the arrival of the post mortem report.
