It is noteworthy that on May 25, a fire broke out in Vivek Vihar Baby Care Center, in which 7 children died. 12 innocent children were admitted in this hospital. When the fire broke out, the police, fire department, hospital staff and common people somehow rescued all the 12 children through the window present in the rear part of the hospital building.
After this incident, Delhi Police arrested the hospital owner Dr Naveen Keechi and a doctor Akash. Dr Akash has a BAMS degree. According to Delhi Police, this hospital had permission for only five beds but it was being run with 12 beds. During the investigation, not a single fire extinguisher cylinder was found in the hospital premises. The hospital also did not have an emergency exit gate in case of an emergency. The license of the hospital had also expired.
The Karkardooma Court had rejected the bail plea of Dr. Akash. The Delhi Police had opposed the bail plea of Dr. Akash and said that if he is granted bail, then the evidence and proofs can be tampered with.
