Jaipur: The Rajasthan Health Department has formed a committee and ordered a detailed investigation considering a case of declaring a youth dead in the emergency unit of the Government BDK Hospital of Jhunjhunu.

“The case is complete negligence in health services,” the department said.

The department has suspended Chief Medical Officer Sandeep Pachar, Yogesh Kumar Jakhar and Navneet Meel immediately.

Principal Secretary Medical and Health Gayatri Rathore underscored the state government’s serious stance on the matter, stating that a committee under the chairmanship of Joint Director Jaipur Zone Narottam Sharma has been constituted.

The committee, which includes medical jurists Ajay Srivastava, Himmat Singh Rathore, and Dheeraj Verma from Kanwatia Hospital, has been directed to thoroughly investigate the incident. They are expected to examine all aspects of the case and submit their report within seven days. Based on their findings, further action will be taken.

The deaf and mute 25-year-old youth, Rohitash, was brought to Bhagwan Das Khaitan (BDK) for treatment on Thursday afternoon. He was reportedly in a critical condition. However, the doctors declared him dead. The police were called, and a Panchnama was made, and the body was taken to the crematorium in an ambulance.

When his last rites were being performed at around five in the evening, suddenly, there was movement in his body. This shocking turn of events left the family and the public in disbelief. Even though initially the people conducting the funeral got scared, they eventually called an ambulance, and Rohitash was sent to the district hospital, where he underwent medical treatment in the ICU.

His condition was stated to be stable initially, but he died on Friday morning.
