'PM: 'I made sure there was no shortage of oxygen'CM: 'There’s no shortage of oxygen. The property of those spreading rumours about shortage will be confiscated.' Minister: 'Give just enough oxygen patients need. Don't give too much oxygen.' Agra hospital: 'There was no oxygen. Mock drill was conducted by turning off oxygen for 22 patients.' Who's responsible?” Priyanka Gandhi tweeted in Hindi.
As many as 22 Covid and non-Covid patients allegedly died following a 'mock oxygen drill' in a private hospital in Agra. A viral video purportedly of a hospital owner has sparked a major controversy.
In the video, the owner of Paras Hospital Dr. Arinjay Jain is heard telling some people that the oxygen supply was cut for five minutes as part of a "mock drill".
Twenty-two people may not have made it out alive on that day, according to media reports.(UNI)
