Dr Kafeel Khan Was Held Responsible For The Death of 60 Children
Back in 2017, Dr. Kafeel Khan worked as a pediatrician of the BRD Medical College. However, due to the less supply of oxygen, 60 children died within a week and most of them were infants. Following this, Khan was responsible for the situation and was put behind bars.
However, in September 2019, he was absolved of the charges. It was proved in the court that during the incident, he was on leave, and despite being on leave he managed to arrange 500 jumbo oxygen cylinders within his personal capacity.

Talking to the media, Khan said that he knew he was innocent. He did what he could as a father, doctor, and a common Indian.
The shortage in the oxygen supply was because of the unpaid bills to the vendor. Khan said that his time in jail was an administrative failure and he was merely a scapegoat. He demanded CBI probe into the matter and said that the government should apologize to the parents who lost their children.
