The UP Assembly was recently rocked when Samajwadi Party leader and MLC Sunil Singh Sajan exposed the condition of COVID hospitals in UP and said UP legislator, BJP leader and veteran cricketer Chetan Chauhan’s death due to COVID-19 related complications was caused by poor treatment at the state government-run Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) in Lucknow.
According to Sunil Singh Sajan, he was admitted in the same hospital after testing COVID positive.He alleged that Chetan Chauhan, who succumbed to COVID-19 in a Gurugram hospital, died due to carelessness in his treatment at SGPGI.
Chauhan (73), who was admitted to SGPGI being tested positive for COVID-19, was shifted to the Medanta hospital in Gurugram, Haryana, when his condition deteriorated. The cricketer-turned-politician passed away last week, after being put on life support for nearly 36 hours.
Raising the issue in the Upper House of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature, SP MLC Sunil Singh Sajan said that Chauhan received poor treatment at the SGPGI.
“Once during a round, a doctor and a nurse asked who Chetan Chauhan is, to which the minister raised his hand since he was a simple person. He was asked as to when he got infected with the virus, to which he explained the entire matter to the hospital staff. At that time, another personnel asked Chauhan as to what he did for a living, to which he replied that he was a minister in the Yogi Adityanath-led UP government,” the SP leader was seen saying in a video that went viral on social media.
He was angered by the behaviour of the hospital staff with Chauhan, he added.“When I could not control my anger, I told the doctor that Chauhan had played cricket for India, to which the doctor said, ‘Oh, he is that Chetan’. After this, the doctor and the other staff left,” the SP leader said.
He also shared his own experience as a patient in the hospital, claiming that he went through five COVID tests just because of the carelessness and the inappropriate conduct of the staff.
In the end, Sajan decided to treat himself at home as per the government's standard instructions.
