His health condition was stated to be good last night. Even as he was unable to speak, he responded to me by nodding his head when I called him as Dilip inside the ICU yesterday. We were waiting outside the hospital gate. At around 2 AM, the hospital staff called me and informed that Dilip\u2019s heart was not functioning and his blood pressure level had dropped. I had none with me other than my sister, she went inside and found he is no more,\u201d she told the media mourning the death of her son.<\/p>\n Alleging medical negligence, the deceased\u2019s brother said that the hospital authorities intentionally killed the patient.<\/p>\n \u201cAs Dilip was the sole evidence that could expose entire episode against the hospital, they eliminated him. A week after Dilip\u2019s death, we suddenly came to know that he is alive. We were so happy and had a hope that he will return to home after recovery. But, things were changed overnight. My mother had visited the ICU yesterday and he was normal. The patient, who was alive after battling for six days in critical condition and gave his true identity, what happened to him suddenly? After coming out of ventilator, he was not given proper treatment. The hospital wanted him to die to conceal its loopholes in the treatment entire incident,\u201d deceased Dilip\u2019s brother alleged.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have been shattered and devastated, do not know what to do. But, we will lodge a complaint with the police against the hospital that ruined my family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n A twist in the Hi-Tech Hospital blast case came yesterday after one of the victims undergoing treatment at the hospital claimed himself as Dilip Samantray, who was earlier declared dead. Following his revelation of identity, the hospital authorities came under fire with relatives both Dilip and another deceased who was identified as Jyotiranjan Mallick staged protest alleging body swapping by the hospital.<\/p>\n The confusion over patient\u2019s identity claimed an innocent life in Dilip\u2019s family as his wife hung self after hearing news of his husband\u2019s death.
