Speaking to The Kashmiriyat, the family members of Mohammed Akram said that they reached the hospital very late on Tuesday evening after Akram suddenly complained of pain.

However, upon reaching the hospital there was absence of doctors in the biggest hospital South Kashmir, they said.

“We requested the hospital staff for arranging a doctor, however nobody really paid attention,” they said.

They said that Mohammed Akram kept moaning in pain, however the doctors were unavailable to check him out.

“One of the doctors came during the night and checked only a single patient, which probably was his relative,” the family member told The Kashmiriyat.

He said that Akram died of immense pain and the hospital authorities are solely to be blamed for his death.

“The death of Akram angered his family and they hurled fire pots (Kangris) upon the hospital officials,” Eyewitnesses told The Kashmiriyat.

Demanding action against the hospital officials, they asked the higher ups and the Governor to check the CCTV footage and check if any doctors were available in the hospital during the night time.
