New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh STF on Saturday arrested doctor Kafeel Khan in connection with the death of scores of children at Gorakhpur's BRD hospital. Khan, who was the nodal officer, has already been removed from the post.
Khan, the third accused so far in the case was trying to flee the country possibly to Nepal when he was arrested, reports claimed. Khan was reportedly involved in stealing of oxygen cylinders for his private clinic from the BRD hospital. STF's DIG Manoj Tiwari confirmed the development.
Earlier on Friday, Gorakhpur court had issued non-bailable warrants against seven people including incharge of AES ward Dr Kafeel Khan, anesthetist Dr Satish, pharmacist Gajanan Jaiswal, accountant Sudhir Pandey, assistant clerk Sanjay Kumar Tripathi and gas suppliers Uday Pratap Singh and Manish Bhandari.
The state-run BRD hospital attracted global attention when more than 70 children, mostly infants died within the span of a week last month. The issue also acquired a political colour with the opposition attacking the government over it.
On August 12, a day after the deaths of children were reported at the hospital Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath had formed a committee to investigate the matter.
The Allahabad High Court had also sought a "detailed report" on the infrastructure and medical facilities at the medical college.
