Victim a senior doctor passed away without getting emergency treatment
Chikmagalur: Tarikere MLA D.S. Suresh has been accused of behaving inhumanly towards an injured doctor from the Health Department, who had sustained serious injuries in a road accident and was seen struggling on the road. The MLA who was passing through the accident site is said to have not rendered any helping hand to take the injured doctor to the hospital and left him for the dead. Amid this, the injured doctor passed away without obtaining emergency treatment near Lakkavalli Cross in Tarikere Taluk on Wednesday evening.
It is learned that although the BJP MLA D.S. Suresh noticed the accident, he did not get off from his car nor did he approach the injured but instead sat silently inside his car, the visuals of this which were captured by unidentified person on their mobile phone have gone viral on social media sites. The inhumane behaviour of the MLA has garnered widespread outrage from the public.
The deceased has been identified as a COVID Warrior, a senior medical officer Dr. Ramesh Kumar. After finishing his duty on Wednesday evening, the doctor was returning home on his bike when an unidentified vehicle crashed into him, it is learned. Dr. Ramesh Kumar, was thrown off his bike and fallen on the road in an injured state, groaning in pain. During this time, the MLA D Suresh who was passing through that road observed the accident and had his car parked further away from the site of the accident. However, he did not get out of the car, it is learned. Thereafter, the MLA’s gunman got out of the vehicle and called for an ambulance. The ambulance which arrived after 20 minutes of the accident, took the injured doctor to hospital but by then the doctor had reportedly breathed his last.
If the MLA had taken the doctor to the hospital immediately instead of delaying and ignoring his plight, his life could have been saved. However, the MLA did not even get out of his car and has behaved in an inhumane manner, people have said while expressing outrage over the incident.
