Paras Hospital in Agra gets clean chit, report says no proof of ‘mock drill’ leading to 22 deaths

There is no proof that the oxygen supply was cut off for a 'mock drill' at a prominent private hospital in Agra, said Uttar Pradesh's Death Audit Committee on its report on Friday.

However, the Committee found that the hospital administration had misled patients on grounds of lack of oxygen and discharged them, which is against the Epidemic Diseases Act protocols.

Death Audit Committee report stated that Police will take necessary action against the said hospital for violation of Epidemic Diseases Act protocols.
