SC Plea For Media House Releasing Exit Polls
The court has rejected the bail plea filed by Dr. Akash, a private hospital doctor arrested in connection with the deaths of newborns due to a fire at a children’s hospital. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vidhi Gupta Anand of Karkardooma Court stated that the investigation is ongoing and that granting bail to Dr. Akash could potentially lead to evidence tampering.
On May 30, the court had remanded both Dr. Naveen Khichi, the owner of Vivek Vihar Baby Care Hospital, and Dr. Akash, who was on duty during the late-night fire on May 25, to judicial custody until June 13. The fire resulted in the deaths of seven newborns and injuries to five others. The hospital, located in East Delhi, was allegedly operating with an expired license and without approval from the fire department.
