“Regarding the untimely demise of Sachin Sharma, a patient admitted in Sawai Man Singh Hospital, our sensitive government provided financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh to the victim’s family… My deepest condolences are with the bereaved family in this hour of immense sorrow,” Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma said in a post on X.
Sachin Sharma (23) died recently after allegedly being transfused the wrong type of blood at SMS Hospital. He was administered AB+ blood while he had an O+ blood group.
On Sunday, his family members took out a march demanding financial aid as Sachin Sharma was the sole breadwinner in the family.
