Amidst demand for his release, fever kills Dadri lynching accused

Noida, Oct 5: One of the 15 accused jailed for Dadri beef lynching case, wherein Mohammad Akhlaq was bludgeoned to death in September last year, died of fever at a hospital in Delhi.

debriJail officials said it was likely that Ravin, a 22-year-old Bisada resident, was suffering from dengue or chikungunya. But the youth's mother and Hindutva groups in his village blamed police for his death, accusing them of negligence.

Ravin, who was arrested on December 21 last year, had been down with fever for four days in Greater Noida's Luksar jail. When his condition deteriorated on Tuesday morning, he was taken to the district hospital in Noida and from there referred to Delhi's LNJP Hospital, where he died around 6pm due to kidney and respiratory failure, doctors said.

"When Ravin had fever for several days, why was he taken to hospital when the situation became critical?" asked Nirmala, his mother. "My son died. He had committed no crime. I want justice." Ravin is survived by his wife and a six-month-old daughter.

District magistrate N P Singh said he had sought a report from the jail superintendent. "This is a very sad incident and we are looking into it. We have formed a committee to examine the matter," he said.

Dr J C Passey, medical superintendent of LNJP Hospital, said, "The patient was rushed to our hospital at 12 pm in critical condition. He had acute fever and kidney dysfunction. Despite our best efforts, he died within a few hours." He said blood samples of Ravin had been sent for dengue and chikungunya tests. "Until the reports come, we cannot comment on the cause of death. He died due to kidney and respiratory failure," Passey said.

Dharmendra Singh, the Gautam Budh Nagar police chief, said, "We received information the accused was suffering from a suspected case of dengue and died in the evening. We are looking into the issue." Luksar jail superintendent M L Yadav did not respond to repeated calls and messages asking for his response.

Ravin, a Class X pass out, worked as a driver when he was arrested in connection with the murder of Akhlaq and the attack on his younger son Danish. He was one of the 18 accused in the charge sheet filed by police in the case but was not among the first few to be arrested in the days after the murder of Akhlaq on September 28 last year.

Following the news of his death, a group of men gathered at the village temple in Bisada and protested. Police rushed personnel to Bisada to keep the situation under control.

Meanwhile, mothers of 13 of the accused have been on an indefinite hunger strike in Bisara since Saturday. A few hours before news of Ravin's death reached Bisara, Sub-Divisional Magistrate Amit Kumar, along with officers from Jharcha police station, met the protesters.

“I am requesting you with folded hands, please release our innocent children and arrest Jaan Mohammad (Akhlaq's brother),” said Lilavati, a local. Akhlaq had been beaten to death by a mob on suspicion of cow slaughter and beef consumption. After his death, an FIR had been registered against him, and six other members of his family, including Jaan Mohammad.

“The hunger strike will continue for two more days… We are giving you (police) two days to arrest Jaan Mohammad. On the third day, if he is still free, we will do what we want. The investigation has been going on for the last three months. Why was there no investigation before our sons were put behind bars?” said Hari Om, a local Hindutva activist.

Bengaluru, Feb 22: The Hindu Mahasabha has decided to carry out a 'cleaning ceremony' by using 'gau-mutra' (cow urine) to purify Freedom Park, where pro-Pakistan slogans were shouted as a protest against the CAA, NRC and NRP.

On Thursday, an 18-year-old girl Amulya Leona hadraised slogans of 'Pakistan Zindabad,' after the organisers of the event under the banner of 'Save Constitution' invited her to address the gathering. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi soon rushed and tried to snatch away mic from her hand.

Amulya, who was arrested by the police soon after the event on charges of Sedition, was remanded to 14-day judicial custody.

Associates of Amulya insisted that she was trying to make a point that nobody in the anti-CAA rallies would hail a ‘long Live Pakistan’ slogan while they would do so for a ‘Long Live Hindustan’ chant.

“She is not dumb. She knew exactly what she was saying. She had a clear narrative in mind, but was interrupted before she could complete it. Her half-comments are now being taken out of context,” said Sujnan, another student-activist. 

“In the end, the campaign is not involved with whatever she said or intended to say. It falls on her to explain herself,” said a protest organiser.

Mangaluru, May 23: Criticising the Karnataka government's fresh protocol for management of Covid-19 as expensive, a prominent physician in the city has demanded its withdrawal.

According to Dr B Srinivas Kakkilaya, the protocol released by the Health and Family Welfare Department on May 15 enlists unnecessary and unconfirmed tests and treatments. 

The protocol has classified Covid-19 cases into three categories and has provided for hospitalisation of all three categories of patients, from asymptomatic to the most severely ill.

In a letter to the government, Dr Kakkilaya said: "The protocol suggests several investigations to be done right on the day of admission, including blood counts, liver and renal function tests, chest X Ray, ECG, CT scan of the chest, and other special investigations, all of which, if done, will cost Rs 25,000 per patient."

"In the coming days when lakhs of patients are likely to be infected with SARS CoV2, is it necessary and feasible to hospitalise and test all these patients at Rs 25,000 per person," he questioned.

The treatment options suggested in the protocol are also surprising, he pointed out. "The protocol recommends choloroquine, azithromycin, oseltamivir, zinc and vitamin C for all patients, from asymptomatic to the severely ill, and also anti coagulant injections for many patients. All these would cost at least Rs 5,000 per patient. For severe cases of Covid-19, many unproven and experimental treatments have been suggested, which are very expensive and highly questionable," Dr Kakkilaya notes.

Therefore, this protocol, he asserted was not evidence based and likely to do more harm than good. He said these unnecessarily expensive tests and allowing private companies to conduct trials on Covid-19 patients is likely to be misused by vested interests and must be immediately withdrawn, and instead, a protocol that is evidence-based, simple and avoiding unnecessary expenses, must be developed.
