Family's anguish: Doc demanded 10k bribe for autopsy of drowned kids
Raipur: The bodies of two little children lay rotting for several hours at a primary health centre (PHC) in Chhattisgarh's Surguja district allegedly because a doctor demanded Rs 10,000 for each post-mortem examination. The autopsies were conducted only when the stench got media and public attention. Block medical officer Raghavendra Choubey has been suspended, chief medical and health officer Dr. P S Marko said on Tuesday. The accused doctor, Aman Jaiswal — who was posted at the PHC on bond — has been attached to the directorate of health in Raipur. The Surguja collector has recommended action against the doctor and ordered a compensation of Rs 4 lakh each for the children's families, Dr. Marko said. The victims — five-year-old Jugnu Giri and his cousin, four-year-old Suraj Giri — drowned in a 20x20 ft water-filled pit in Silsila village, around 360km from Raipur, on Sunday afternoon. The kids' grandfather, Sudgir Giri, had spotted them walking towards a waterbody dug by villagers for daily use. Sensing the danger, he warned them not to. Jugnu and Suraj returned home. A little later, when the rest of the family had gone out for work, the two children again went to the pit to take a bath and drowned between 2pm and 2:30pm. "My sister-in-law noticed the children's absence and alerted me. I went looking for them and was horrified to find them floating in the pit. I immediately pulled them out and tried to pump water out of their bodies," said Jugnu's father Shiv Giri. Villagers gathered around and called for a govt ambulance, but were told that it would take half an hour, said Giri. "Every second was crucial. So, instead of waiting, we carried the children on a motorcycle to the primary health centre at Raghunathpur, around 8km from our village," Giri said. The doctor declared the children dead and asked for a post-mortem. The anguished family was keen on performing the last rites before sunset, as is custom, and did not want the bodies ;'cut up', so they initially refused the post-mortem. They returned home around 7pm on Sunday, but it was already too late for the last rites. They informed the village sarpanch and chowkidar, who advised them to get the post-mortem done to claim govt compensation of Rs 4 lakh, which requires official autopsy records. Giri then contacted local police, who advised them to take the bodies back to the hospital for post-mortem. On Monday, the family arrived at the hospital around 7am. A nurse asked them to place the bodies in the post-mortem room and the doctor arrived around 9:30am. "Instead of performing the post-mortem, the doctor ignored us till afternoon. The bodies started smelling. When I asked the doctor, he told me that he would have done the post-mortem on Sunday, free of cost, as per govt rules, but it would cost Rs 10,000 each today. When the news spread, the media became aware of the matter, and public representatives intervened. The doctor finally conducted the post-mortem. After that, we were not even provided a vehicle to carry the bodies home. We again carried them back on a motorcycle," Shiv told TOI. CMHO Dr Marko said further action will be based on the administration's probe report.

Chhattisgarh doctor demands Rs 10,000 per body for post mortem in Surguja child drowning case
Image used is for representational purposes only RAIPUR: The bodies of two young children reportedly remained unattended for several hours at a primary health centre in Surguja district, as a doctor allegedly demanded Rs 10 ,000 for each post-mortem examination. The examinations were conducted only after the bodies began to decompose and the matter gained media and public attention. Five-year-old Jugnu Giri and four-year-old Suraj Giri drowned in a 20x20 feet pit filled with water in Silsila village, under the Lundra assembly constituency in Surguja, on Sunday afternoon. Shiv Giri, Jugnu's father, stated that Suraj was his younger brother's son. Shiv returned home early on Sunday as he could not find daily labour work, while other male family members were out for work. Jugnu and Suraj were first spotted by their grandfather, Sudgir Giri, heading towards a water body dug by villagers for daily use. The children returned home after the grandfather's instruction. However, when the grandfather went out for some work later, the two children returned to the pit for a bath and drowned between 2 pm and 2:30 pm.

Ali Sethi's mom isn't a fan of 'Pasoori'
Ali Sethi's chart-topping track Pasoori, which has captivated audiences worldwide, seems to have one notable critic - his mother, Jugnu Mohsin. Despite its massive success, Jugnu recently admitted in an interview that she doesn't share the global enthusiasm for the Coke Studio 14 blockbuster, instead preferring her son's traditional Punjabi songs. In a clip circulating online, Jugnu revealed her feelings about the song, which has garnered over 835 million views on YouTube since its release in February 2022. "I don't like Pasoori. When the song got a billion hits, Ali came to me and he said, 'Ammi, you don't like this song.'" she shared. However, Jugnu did not shy away from taking some credit for Ali's passion for music. Reflecting on her son's upbringing, she said, "When I was expecting him, I used to listen to music a lot, and my preference was our classical raags or Punjabi music like dholay and mahiye. We used to speak pure Punjabi with our kids, which is why Ali can sing brilliantly in Punjabi - songs like Umran Langiyan Pabhan Par." While Jugnu expressed pride in her son's talent and the recognition he has received, she reiterated her preference for his more traditional and classical work. "I said, 'Yes, I don't like this song. I like more traditional music, like Punjabi songs and ghazals, for example, Gulon Mein Rang Bharein.'" she added with a smile. Written by Sethi and Fazal Abbas and performed by Sethi alongside Shae Gill, Pasoori has not only become a cultural phenomenon but was also the most-searched song on Google globally in 2022. Its vibrant music video, which celebrates dance and culture, has further amplified its appeal.
