30 Days Since Son Died Of Covid, UP Police Not Filing Complaint: BJP MLA

The BJP legislator alleged that his son died due to negligence of the hospital administration and doctors and added that he is trying to file an FIR to get justice for his son.

A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi district said he had been struggling for over a month to lodge a complaint against a private hospital's negligence in his son's death, but the police are not filing an FIR. Rajkumar Aggarwal, BJP MLA from Sandila in the Hardoi district, told ANI that his son Ashish (35) died on April 26 at a hospital in Kakori where he was admitted after testing positive for COVID-19. "On April 26 morning, the oxygen level of the son was 94. He was eating and was having regular conversations with us. Suddenly in the evening, doctors told him that his oxygen level was decreasing. We arranged an oxygen cylinder from outside, but the doctors did not allow this oxygen to reach the patient, and he died," the BJP MLA said. Mr Aggarwal alleged that his son died due to negligence of the hospital administration and doctors and added that he is trying to file an FIR to get justice for his son.
