TCN News
A division bench of Hon'ble supreme court of India comprising Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Indira Banerjee has ordered the enquiry regarding the suspension of Dr. Kafeel Khan to be concluded on time and also directed the government of Uttar Pradesh under Yogi Adityanath rule to pay all subsistence allowances to Dr. Kafeel Khan pending his suspension.
Dr Kafeel Khan, lecturer paediatrician of Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medial College hospital was suspended from duty and later arrested for the death of 33 children who had died due to lack of oxygen supply. But he was later released on bail but was framed under different allegations and along with him his brother was also made a scape goat and an attempt was also made on his brother's life.
Dr Kafeel Khan suffered not just due to character assassination but was also kept in the Gorakhpur jail under charges of attempt to culpable homicide and criminal breach of trust by a public servant.
Dr. Khan, who headed the encephalitis ward in the hospital actually saved the children by purchasing oxygen from other sources. And the parents of the children vouch for that.
However after much tribulations and campaigns to save him, the SC bench today delivered a verdict in favour of Dr. Khan who, in his tweet has said that it is a good news during roza in the month of Ramadan, while thanking the lawyers who represented him.
He has also named the 2 doctors who are responsible for the lack in supply of liquid oxygen not just in the paediatric ward but also other wards.
