The wife of a COVID patient, who succumbed in a private hospital in Patna on May 8, has alleged that a doctor there had molested her.
The wife of a COVID patient, who succumbed in a private hospital in Patna on May 8, has alleged that a doctor there had molested her.
She also said that the hospital administration deliberately switched off the oxygen supply in the ICU, to force people to buy oxygen cylinders, and this caused her husband's death.
Sharing her plight, the woman said that the entire family, living in Noida, came to Bhagalpur to celebrate Holi, and decided to stay back as COVID cases started to surge.
The woman also claimed that the situation was extremely shocking in the ICU as the staff did not even change the bedsheet, and patients were forced to stay on their beds soiled with urine and stools. "My husband also stayed there for 6 to 7 hours and they neither changed the bedcover nor allowed us to change it," she said.

"One day, his health deteriorated and he informed me through a missed call, and when I forcibly entered the ICU, I found that the pipe of the oxygen mask was not attached. I shouted for help, then doctors came and connected the pipe with a mask. That incident created fear in my husband's mind. When I complained to a senior doctor, he threatened me to tear my eyes out. A ward boy named Jyoti Kumar snatched my dupatta in front of my husband in the ICU and put his hand in my hip," she said.
"When I was sitting on a bench in the corridor outside the ICU, Jyoti came and made inappropriate remarks," she said.

What action can be taken because the b* will obviously deny, no?#HumanityIsDead
Many asked her to name the man, or file a police complaint.
Its a crime under section 354-A of Indian Penal Code, 1860.

File a police complaint. Its not victim's job to find evidences. If ultimately your case fails even then he will get the message that he is not untouchable. Make a dent in the universe. Stand up. We will support her.
Leave aside Legal/Criminal action, let's shame him socially and publically. Name him, let's make that B* (in)famous.

Please file a police complaint, and name and shame. Family must know. Chances are they'll try to protect him but they must know.
