IPS officer 'treating' father at home, one month after hospital declared him dead
Bhopal, Feb 14: A senior IPS officer in Madhya Pradesh is administering Ayurvedic treatment to his father even a month after a local hospital declared him dead.
Rajendra Kumar Mishra, Additional Director General of Police (ADG) posted at the police headquarters here, claimed Thursday that media reports about his father being dead were false.
A few local newspapers reported earlier this week that Mishra, who lives in the 74 Bungalows locality which has official residences of ministers and senior officers, was administering his father Ayurvedic treatment long after a local hospital declared him dead.
K M Mishra (84), the IPS officer's father, was admitted to Bansal Hospital here on January 13 and he died at 4 pm on January 14, hospital spokesperson Lokesh Jha told PTI.
He suffered from malfunctioning of kidneys, lungs and the heart and died due to a cardiac arrest, and the hospital also issued a death certificate, the spokesperson said.
However, in a statement Thursday evening, ADG Mishra asserted that his father was alive.
He said after the hospital told the family that it can not treat his father further, he consulted Ayurvedic doctors, who "checked the pulse and found that there is life in him".
"They have told us that our father is with us but in unconscious state....we have given him immediate oxygen support and also gave Jadi-Booti (herbs) which is traditional Indian medicine and about which there is a lack of knowledge.
Our father is responding to the treatment," he claimed.
"There are (precedents of) such situations in our Indian system and people have revived," Mishra asserted.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
