Former Member of Parliament, Kirit Somaiya, and the daughter of a person who died at the civic-run Trauma Care Centre at Jogeshwari have lodged a complaint with the police against the centre and the BMC. They have alleged that seven people died in 90 minutes due to the defective oxygen system at the Hinduhridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Trauma Care Hospital and have demanded its management be booked under IPC sections for causing death due to negligence.
Nanda Bhamre, daughter of Dada Bhamre, who died on May 30, said he was admitted on May 27. "On May 29, we were told he tested positive for COVID-19. My father told us that nobody was taking care of him. He tried to get us to speak to doctors, but no one took his call. On May 30, we were told he had died and that he had been on ventilator. I want the oxygen supply system to be investigated," Bhamre said.
