Relatives claimed that the doctors delayed treatment that led to the death of the patient on early Monday morning.

Rajat Bhowmik (35), a resident of Kasba, was admitted at the Tagore institute, set up by renowned cardiologist Devi Shetty, on July 7 after he had complained of chest pain.

His brother Rajib Bhowmik said, “Rajat was diagnosed with cardiac ailments and after some treatment, the doctors said that he was fit to go home and discharged him.”

On July 25, his condition deteriorated and he was again admitted to the hospital.

This time, too, the doctors discharged him after a few days, certifying him as a fit person. On August 5, his condition again became serious and he was admitted once again.

This time the doctors said he needed a bypass surgery, which was scheduled for Monday afternoon. But he died around 3 am on Monday.

Around 7.30 am, angry relatives barged into the hospital, ransacked the ground floor reception and part of the OPD.

They smashed glass panes, damaged an ambulance and two cars. On being informed, a huge police contingent from the Purbo Jadavpur police station rushed in and controlled the situation.

“From the beginning, the doctors were not sure about the treatment. Sometimes they told us that bypass surgery was required, at others we were told that he was fit to be discharged. He was shuttled between doctors of medicine and surgeons,” said Rajib. Today suddenly they called us and said that my brother was no more. We have lodged a police complaint against the hospital, he added.
