A case has been lodged in Kanpur Nagar district against the owner of a private hospital, which is a Covid facility, after District Judge R P Singh was not allegedly not given any treatment, while others were also struggling to get doctor’s care.

In the complaint, lodged by Dr Anil Mishra, Kanpur Chief Medical Officer, alleged that when he along with judge R P Singh, who tested positive for Covid-19 on April 18, reached the hospital, they got stuck in the lift. The judge was not given treatment at the hospital and they also witnessed mismanagement there, it added.

The complaint also alleged that the general situation in the hospital was chaotic and that they received complaints from people about mismanagement.

“When we went downstairs to the portico, the attendants complained of mismanagement, which was seen by me too.

There are no arrangements at the Narayana Covid hospital and there was laxity in treating the district judge,” read the complaint.
