In a startling turn of events, a 25-year-old deaf and mute youth named Rohitash, initially declared dead by doctors, began breathing just before his cremation.
The incident, which occurred on Thursday evening in Jhunjhunu district, Rajasthan, has raised serious concerns about medical negligence.
Rohitash, a resident of a shelter home run by Maa Seva Sansthan in Bagad, fell ill on Thursday afternoon. He was rushed to Bhagwan Das Khaitan (BDK) Hospital, the largest government healthcare facility in the district. Tragically, doctors at the hospital declared him dead and sent his body to the mortuary. Preparations for his cremation began shortly after.
At around 5 PM, during the last rites, bystanders noticed movement in Rohitash’s body. To their astonishment, he started breathing, revealing he was very much alive. The shocking revelation has sparked outrage in the community, prompting swift action by the authorities.
The District Collector intervened late Thursday night, suspending three doctors responsible for the gross misjudgment. This incident highlights a critical need for more stringent protocols in confirming deaths to prevent such alarming errors in the future.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as investigations continue into the actions of the suspended medical staff and the circumstances leading to this grave oversight.
