Santosh Kumar, aged about 64, was admitted to Medical College, Meerut on April 21 on a reference made by District Hospital Ghaziabad and was kept in an isolation ward. However, the team in-charge doctor Anshu, who was on night duty, was not present at the ward. According to the government probe report, during this time, the morning staff at the ward had arrived and taken over. Dr. Utkarsh got the body removed from the ward and thereafter no efforts were made to trace and identify the person. The State needs to take stern action against those responsible, may be they are the highest in the ranks.
