Bhubaneswar: Six months after the sensational daylight murder of Odisha Health Minister Naba Kishore Das, a new controversy has erupted. Suspicion is being leveled at the treatment of Naba Das, who was shot at by a police officer on January 29 in Brajarajnagar, Jharsuguda district.
Naba Das was rushed to the district headquarters hospital (DHH) in Jharsughda after being shot near Gandhi Chowk in western Odisha. According to sources, Das's OPD ticket, which has recently surfaced, makes no mention of the treatment he received at Jharsuguda DHH.
The then-minister was airlifted from Jharsuguda to a private hospital in Bhubaneswar, where doctors declared him dead the following evening.
Questions are now being raised about why the OPD ticket, which should have included all of the details of the slain leader's treatment, makes no mention of the line of treatment. It makes no mention of the treatment he received at the DHH after being admitted to the medical facility.
The OPD ticket simply states that Naba Das was admitted to the DHH with a gunshot wound and was referred to a higher medical facility for better care. This appears to have added to the mystery surrounding Naba Das's treatment.
According to Dr. Dolamani Patel, Chief District Medical Officer (CDMO) of Jharsuguda, an OPD ticket should include information about the treatment provided to a patient.
The OPD ticket should have included information about Naba Das's ailments and the treatment he received. However, because his condition was critical, he was referred immediately after receiving first aid, he explained.
Doctors who saw the then-Minister noted everything on the referral card, though details were not written on the OPD ticket due to time constraints, according to Dr. Patel.
Medical professionals expressed surprise at the lack of treatment details in Naba Das' OPD ticket, and wondered why details such as blood pressure and heart rate were not mentioned. The OPD ticket also does not state whether a blood transfusion was performed because the slain leader was bleeding profusely after being shot.
