A fire at the state-run Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital in Jaipur late Sunday claimed six lives, all critical patients in the Neuro ICU.

Fire at SMS Hospital in Jaipur: Six Lives Lost, 14 Rescued

Fire at Jaipur's SMS Hospital: Six Lives Lost

A fire at the state-run Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital in Jaipur late Sunday claimed six lives, all critical patients in the Neuro ICU.

A massive fire blazed through the neuro ICU of Jaipur&rsquo;s state-run Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital in the dead of the night, killing six patients on critical care support, officials said on Monday.
Eleven patients were being treated in the ICU at the time, said trauma centre in-charge Dr Anurag Dakhad. The fire, which erupted in the storage area around midnight, is suspected to have been caused by a short circuit.
The flames spread fast and rescuers could pull out only five patients.
"Six people, two women and four men died, and five are undergoing treatment," Dhakad said. "Fourteen other patients were admitted in a different ICU, and all were successfully evacuated to safer locations," he added.
Walls blackened with smoke and soot, equipment twisted out of shape in the heat and shattered glass told the tale of the horrors that unfolded when the fire broke out.
Though some reports claimed eight patients died in the fire, Dhakad and hospital superintendent Sushil Bhati maintained that the number of deaths was six.
Expressing grief over the tragedy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in an X post in Hindi, "The loss of lives due to a fire tragedy at a hospital in Jaipur, Rajasthan, is deeply saddening. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. May the injured recover soon." The state government has formed a high-level committee to probe the incident.
SMS hospital is Rajasthan's biggest government health facility, treating patients from across the state and elsewhere.
The deceased were identified as Pintu from Sikar, Dilip and Bahadur from Jaipur, and Shrinath, Rukmini and Kusuma from Bharatpur.
Anguished relatives held a brief protest and alleged that authorities were negligent, ignoring warnings and fleeing instead of rescuing the ailing and sick.
Among them was Rukmini's son Joginder.
"My mother was recovering and was supposed to be fine. But this disaster happened. When the smoke started, there were 15 to 16 people in the ward. People were trying to evacuate their own patients," he said.
"No one helped my mother. My elder brother grabbed a torch from the hospital staff, found our mother, and brought her out. No one went to help her. I could not save her and could not do anything," he told reporters.
Omprakash, whose brother Pintu was killed, said the fire spread rapidly.
"My brother was still inside. It took an hour and a half before they managed to pull Pintu out of the room. His body was not burned, but his face was completely blackened from the smoke. When we took him outside, there were no doctors present," he alleged.
The trauma centre building is in front of the main hospital building on busy Tonk Road.
Hospital staff and attendants evacuated patients with some wheeling beds outside the building. Firefighters brought the fire under control in around two hours, official said.
Vikas, a ward boy who was at the scene, told PTI that he and other staff members rescued as many people as they could before the billowing flames and smoke made it impossible for them to do so.
"We were inside the operating theatre when we heard about the fire, so we immediately rushed to rescue the people inside the centre. We managed to save at least three to four patients. However, as the flames intensified, we could no longer go into the building. We did our best to rescue as many as we could," he said.
Police could not enter the building immediately due to the heavy smoke, he added.
By the time the fire team arrived, the entire ward was engulfed in smoke. Firefighters had to break a window to start extinguishing the fire, he said.
Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Jogaram Patel and Minister of State for Home Jawahar Singh Bedham were among those who visited the trauma centre to take stock of the situation.
When Patel and Bedham reached the spot, relatives of some patients alleged that the staff had ignored early warning and fled during the fire. They also claimed that the hospital staff could not provide updates on the patients' condition.
"We noticed smoke and immediately informed the staff, but they did not pay any heed. When the fire broke out, they were the first to run. Now, we cannot get any information about our patients. We want to know their condition, but no one is telling us," said an attendant.
The chief minister, who spoke to doctors and patients, termed the incident extremely unfortunate and assured that immediate relief measures were being taken.
The state government appointed committee, headed by the commissioner of the Medical Education Department, Iqbal Khan, will look into the causes of the fire, the hospital's preparedness and response to the emergency, safety measures, and steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
Describing the situation as heartbreaking, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot said, "It is extremely unfortunate that the families of the victims are angry with the way they have been treated by the state government. They said that no government representative has approached them or spoken to them so far." Gehlot demanded from the state government to form a judicial commission to thoroughly investigate the incident.
AICC general secretary and former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot also visited the hospital and expressed sorrow over the incident.
"This disaster has undoubtedly been caused due to negligence in one of the state's most renowned hospitals," he said, calling for accountability and swift action.
Director General of Police Rajeev Sharma also visited the hospital and said that he has instructed the Jaipur Police commissioner to form a special team having experts from FSL and fire department to thoroughly investigate the case.&nbsp;

The Rajasthan High Court has denied interim bail for Asaram, seeking more documentation. Allegations of breached bail conditions and medical needs are focal points as the legal process continues.

Rajasthan High Court Denies Bail to Asaram

Rajasthan High Court denies Asaram interim bail, requesting additional documents amid claims of breached bail conditions. Further legal proceedings are anticipated, focusing on the validity of past bail adherence and medical justifications.

The Rajasthan High Court has denied interim bail for Asaram

Rajasthan High Court denies Asaram interim bail. Legal team asked to counter claims of breached conditions while on previous bail. His medical needs scrutinized as future hearings continue.

The Rajasthan High Court refused to grant interim bail to Asaram, who is currently serving a life sentence in a rape case. The court instructed his lawyer to file an affidavit addressing the alleged violation of bail conditions at the next hearing scheduled for April 7.
During the hearing, which lasted around 30 minutes, the government advocate argued against granting interim bail, claiming Asaram had violated the Supreme Court's conditions by preaching while on bail. Asaram&rsquo;s counsel, however, denied these allegations.
The court has also requested details about Asaram&rsquo;s medical treatment received during his previous interim bail and questioned the necessity for such care moving forward.
Asaram returned to Jodhpur Central Jail on April 1 at 1:30 PM after his bail period expired, only to be transferred to a private hospital later that night. No official explanation has been provided for his hospitalization.
Previously, Asaram was granted three months of interim bail by the Gujarat High Court. Despite this, he remains in custody as the Rajasthan High Court has not provided similar relief.
On Tuesday, after the reopening of the Rajasthan High Court, Asaram's lawyer, Nishant Bora, appealed for an urgent hearing of his bail application, leading to Wednesday&rsquo;s court session.
The court also requested affidavits from both Asaram and the victim concerning his bail application. The victim's lawyer opposed further bail, citing past violations of court conditions.
The case was heard by a division bench of Justice Dinesh Mehta and Justice Vineet Kumar Mathur. They specifically questioned whether Asaram had breached the Supreme Court&rsquo;s conditions by delivering sermons. Asaram&rsquo;s legal team was directed to provide an affidavit to address these accusations.
The Supreme Court initially granted interim bail on January 14, extended by the Jodhpur High Court until March 31.
Although the Gujarat High Court extended interim bail for three months concerning a case in Surat, Asaram remains incarcerated due to the pending Rajasthan case.
Asaram was convicted in two major sexual assault cases: the Jodhpur case in 2013, for raping a minor girl, and the more recent Gujarat case in Gandhinagar for repeated sexual assault, each resulting in life imprisonment.

According to police, Jaiveer called Delhi-based tanker owner Anil Panwar after the incident and then switched off his phone.
"We cannot blame the tanker driver immediately as the container truck driver had hit his vehicle. He saw that the tanker's nozzles had broken and realised that there could be an explosion as other drivers were turning on the ignition of their vehicles. So, he fled to save his life," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Amit Kumar.
An FIR was registered in the matter on December 20, the day the explosion took place, and now the tanker driver is being questioned. The driver of the container truck which rammed into the tanker died in the explosion, he said.
Jaiveer appeared before police on Monday. The SIT probing the case will question Jaiveer, Panwar and the tanker company about the vehicle's condition and the driver's employment history, he added.
The DCP said Jaiveer was among the nine drivers present at the accident scene who managed to escape.
The container truck collided with the tanker while taking a U-turn on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway, breaking its outlet nozzles which released a white cloud of gas.
Within minutes, the gas ignited and a massive ball of fire engulfed over 30 vehicles stuck in the jam.
More than two dozen people were injured in the accident and 23 are undergoing treatment at Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital.
Police have registered a case under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), including rash and negligent driving, causing death by negligent act, and causing hurt by endangering life.
The Rajasthan High Court has taken suo motu cognisance of the matter and sought replies from the state government and the Centre. It will hear the matter on January 10, 2025.
