“Nobody gave my child oxygen”: Infant dies at UP Govt hospital
Grieving father alleges medical negligence
Fatehpur: A heart-wrenching video has emerged from Fatehpur district, Uttar Pradesh, showing a grieving father, Shahrukh, in tears after the death of his newborn son Aryan, allegedly due to medical negligence at a government hospital.
The incident occurred on Wednesday at Sardar Hospital, where Shahrukh, a resident of Lakhipur village in the Khaga Kotwali area, had rushed his ailing child after he was referred from a local community health centre.
In a viral video, Shahrukh is seen sitting on the floor of the hospital, crying inconsolably. “10 minute ho gaya mere bache ko oxygen nahi lagaya, mere bache ko kisi ne hath nahi lagaya,” he sobs — which translates to, “It’s been 10 minutes, nobody gave oxygen to my child, nobody even touched him.”
According to the family, Aryan’s health had suddenly deteriorated on Wednesday afternoon. He was first taken to the Hardo Community Health Centre in Khaga, where doctors reportedly declared him critical and advised immediate transfer to the district hospital. However, upon reaching the emergency ward of Sardar Hospital, the family alleges that no medical staff attended to the newborn.
Despite reportedly arriving in time, the child was allegedly denied examination, oxygen support, or any initial treatment. Aryan died shortly after.
Local authorities have not yet issued an official statement. The video has sparked widespread outrage on social media, raising serious questions about the state of emergency care in public hospitals.
बहुत दर्दनाक है 💔

Public can obtain e-pass online to watch Independence Day celebrations in Bengaluru: BBMP
Bengaluru, Aug 13 (PTI): For the first time, the general public can obtain e-pass online to watch the 79th Independence Day celebrations, said Maheshwara Rao, Chief Commissioner, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Wednesday.
Rao, along with the Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru, Seemanth Kumar Singh, was briefing the media here about how Bengaluru is preparing for the state-level ceremony to be held on August 15 at Field Marshal Manik Shah Parade Ground, Cubbon Road, Bengaluru.
“Earlier invitations were distributed by government officials to special invitees and to those involved in the ceremony. Now, people can obtain an e-pass from the Seva Sindhu website (www.sevasindhu.karnataka.gov.in),” added the commissioner.
He said a live telecast of the programme is also available on Doordarshan.
According to him, the viewing gallery for the public at the venue has been expanded to allow more people to watch the programme in person.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will hoist the Indian flag, following which he will inspect the parade in an open jeep and receive the guard of honour.
Siddaramaiah will also deliver an Independence Day message.
On ground security checks are already underway, said the Police Commissioner.
“Police have been deployed on guard duty at the ground for the last 15 days. They are also checking all the hotels, lodges and rest houses for any suspicious activities,” said Singh.
CCTV cameras and baggage scanners, Door Frame Metal Detector and Hand-Held Metal Detector have been installed around the ground to closely monitor all the events, he added.
He also appealed to those with green passes (e-passes) to arrive at Gate no. 05 from the Manipal Centre side via Cubbon Road.
He urged people not to carry any unnecessary luggage or items with them. Even essential items like mobile phones, water bottles, helmets, cameras, radios and umbrellas are best left behind to facilitate quick entry into the venue, he added.
Meanwhile, Bengaluru Traffic Police has appealed to the public to use public transport and metro service as much as possible, due to the lack of space for parking vehicles at Manik Shah Parade Ground and nearby areas.
Parking will not be allowed at Central Street (from Anil Kumble Circle to Shivajinagar Bus Stand), Cubbon Road (from CTO Circle to K R Road and Cubbon Road Junction) and MG Road, from Anil Kumble Circle to Trinity Circle), added a Traffic Police advisory issued on Wednesday.
