The death of 2 Dimapur residents in Gurugram raises suspicion

In an alleged case of gross medical negligence, a resident of Nagaland‘s Dimapur, Rosy Sangma, recently died at a hospital in Gurugram, reportedly after doctors fed her ice cream while she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital.

While Rosy Sangma reportedly died at Alfaa Hospital in Sector-10, Gurugram on June 24 after consuming ice cream while she was in the ICU, her nephew, Samuel Sangma, later died by suicide at a hotel in Gurugram where he was staying.

The incident took place at Alphaa Hospital in Guragam, Haryana, where Rosy was reportedly admitted for treatment. Video recordings by her cousin Samuel Sangma encountering the healthcare workers, including a doctor, on the matter were widely circulated on the Internet.

As per reports, the families and friends of the victims also alleged foul play in the death of Samuel and further sought the attention of the state government for a proper inquiry into both deaths.
