A shocking incident in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, has raised serious questions regarding medical negligence after a 25-year-old man declared dead by doctors was found alive during his cremation.
Tragically, he passed away again 12 hours later while undergoing treatment at SMS Hospital in Jaipur.
The youth, identified as Rohitash, was an orphan residing at the Maa Sewa Sansthan shelter home in Bagad, Jhunjhunu district.
On Thursday afternoon, he fell ill and was admitted to the emergency ward of Bhagwan Das Khetan (BDK) Hospital, the largest government hospital in the district.
Within minutes of his arrival, doctors declared him dead and sent his body to the mortuary, where it was kept in a deep freezer for two hours.
