Another fresh angle which will now be probed includes an incident from 2018, where Khan had tried to treat children at the district hospital in Bahraich.

Paresh Rawal had called Kafeel Khan a 'hero in the eyes of the ever-active termite clan' two years ago.

The 15-page report does not hold Khan guilty of "medical negligence" and says that he had made all efforts to control the situation when the hospital was dealing with oxygen shortage.

The incident comes a year after 60 infants died in Gorakhpur's Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College, allegedly due to lack of oxygen supply.

Dr. Purnima came out of the jail with a smiling face and hugged her son and husband Dr. Mishra, who came to receive her.

Adeel, elder brother of Dr. Kafeel Ahmad Khan, and his associate Mohammad Faizan have been booked for allegedly opening a bank account using fake documents.

Dr Kafeel Khan, who has been in the jail for the past seven months in the Gorakhpur hospital tragedy case, is a victim of conspiracy, said Indian Medical Association.

Gorakhpur was just a symptom. Children’s healthcare is ailing across the country, and it gets worse as one goes deeper into the hinterland.
