Indore Congress Demands Probe Into Child Deaths
Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A memorandum demanding a high-level investigation into the deaths of children at Yugpurush Ashram was submitted by Indore City Congress Committee on Monday. Acting city president Devendra Singh Yadav and MP Rajiv Vikas Kendra’s legal cell’s state convenor Ravikant Saini led the protest.
The memorandum highlighted that ten children died between June 27 and July 2 after falling ill at the ashram. Shockingly, the deaths of five children prior to this period were concealed, with last rites performed secretly by the ashram’s management. The collector’s investigation confirmed negligence, revealing that ashram operators did not conduct post-mortem or report deaths to the authorities.
As a result, Collector Asheesh Singh removed the ashram’s trust president, secretary and director and lodged an FIR against them. Yadav and Saini are calling for culpable homicide charges against responsible parties, citing gross negligence and failure to provide timely medical care, which led to the tragic loss of innocent lives.
