In a shocking incident at Odisha's Saheed Laxman Nayak Medical College, six patients succumbed allegedly due to medical negligence, sparking political and public outcry. The deaths have triggered two official probes to get to the bottom of the grave allegations.
According to hospital sources, the patients were administered injections as a last-ditch effort to stabilize their critical conditions. However, their families claim these injections led to the tragic demise, with political parties like the BJD and Congress demanding justice and accountability.
