Tabrez Ansari’s Life Could have been Saved by Doctors

In the Administrative investigation of the famous Tabrez Ansari lynching case of Jharkhand, it has been found that the doctors who treated him initially acted negligently. Medical examination of Tabrez, who was brought to the hospital in a badly injured state, did not followed the criteria that was required for examination of patients with trauma cases. However, after being taken to jail, the deputed doctor there completed all those procedures. But by then many hours had passed.

Saraikela SDO Dr Basharat Qiyam confirmed this in a conversation with a news channel. He was the head of the three-member investigation team to which the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Saraikela Khasanwa had entrusted the investigation of the case. This team found negligence of doctors and police in its investigation. After this, he submitted his report to DC.

SDO Dr Basharat Qayyum said, "We examined Tabarez's medical papers. It was then discovered that the doctor who first saw him was negligent after being brought to Sadar Hospital on the morning of 18 June. He did not make the card, which is an essential part of the examination of patients with trauma cases."

The doctor, who examined Tabrez in the morning, wrote only the Multiple Injury on his paper. It was not a description of where and how much he was injured. The necessary investigation was also not done for this. His blood pressure was not even seen. He only advised to get an X-ray of the knee, but the police did not even investigate it and went back to the police station. He also said, "Tabrez was brought back to Sadar Hospital before being produced before a magistrate in the evening. Then the doctor on duty got him an X-ray. After that he gave the 'Fit to Travel' certificate. Even then the full investigation was not done.

When asked about this, Dr. Om Prakash Kesari did not comment. He advised to talk to a senior officer. Then Dr. Barial Mardi, Deputy Superintendent of Sadar Hospital confirmed this development. He told that the jail doctors were on leave on 21 and 22 June. Therefore, Dr. Kesari was sent there.

Dr. Burial Mardi also did a post-mortem of Tabarez Ansari's body. He was leading a team of three doctors. He admitted that there was no forensic specialty of any doctor in that team.

SP Karthik S of Saraikela Kharsanwa does not blame the police. He said that we did a fantastic job. Thirteen people were arrested and handed over the charge sheet on time. But, due to the removal of 302 on the basis of the medical report, the media is putting us in the dock. Whereas in article-304 there is also life sentence. Apart from this, chargesheets have also been filed in many more cognizant sections, including allegations of hurting religious sentiments. Now what the court will say, we will do.
