FIR against two SGPGI doctors for negligent killing

An FIR against Dr Vivek Anand Saraswat and Dr Srijeeth Venugopal of Gastroenterology department of SGPGI, Lucknow has been registered in PGI police station, Lucknow for negligently killing a patient through improper injection. 

As per the FIR, Suresh Chandra Shukla of Aliganj took his wife Mamata Shukla, suffering from Hepatitis-C, to SGPGI, where in March 2012, these doctors gave her Thymocin Alpha-1 injection more than once.

This injection immediately reacted on Ms Shukla's body leading to severe complications, who was taken to Medanta hospital, Gurgaon where she was told that she got Liver cancer due to this injection. It finally lead to her death on 09 November 2011.

Sri Shukla later found that Thymocin Alpha-1 is a trial drug known to have bone cancer as its side-effect and Central Drug Standard Control Organization, Government of India gives permission to its use only for Hepatitis B patients, yet the two doctors used this drug on his wife as a trial case.

He gave an FIR to the police station and SSP, Lucknow who did not register it. Finally he came to me through common friends and I wrote to SSP and IG after which an FIR No 87/2014 under sections 269 and 304A IPC has been registered against the two doctors, being investigated by SI Uma Shankar Sharma.

Prima facie it seems to be a serious and important case of doctor's negligence. Let us see what comes out of the investigation.
