RANCHI: The Jharkhand high court on Thursday took suo motu cognizance of the death of a woman at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical Hospital in Jamshedpur earlier this week after an email was sent to Chief Justice Dr Ravi Ranjan by a Ranchi-based advocate Anup Agarwal. The complaint in his mail said the woman, who sustained burn injuries, was ill-treated in the hospital, resulting in her death.
Agarwal in his email mentioned that the woman was set on fire by her husband on February 14 in Chakradharpur. On the same day, she was dropped at the hospital by a Good Samaritan with 91% burns. However, the hospital did not attend her for two days until a local media highlighted her plight. She ultimately succumbed to her injuries. The court treated the letter sent on email as a PIL and ordered the Jharkhand Legal Services Authority secretary to inquire into the matter and submit a report within one week.
