The CBI had registered a case in August 2022, under Sections 304A, 120B and 465 against Dr Anuj Bishnoi and Dr Anjali Ashk.
The CBI had taken over investigation after leaders from the North-East urged home minister Amit Shah to order a thorough probe into the death of Sangma and her nephew Samuel.
As per the CBI, Sangma had suffered pain in both hands and right leg with loose motions and heavy menstrual bleeding on June 23, 2021. She was brought by her two brothers and nephew Samuel to the Alfaa Health Care Hospital, Gurugram, on June 24. The CBI had claimed that Sangma had died due to the negligence on the part of Dr Anuj Bishnoi and Dr Anjali Ashk.
The CBI had alleged that Ashk, a dentist, had treated Sangma, who was bleeding and had no knowledge of gynaecology issues. The CBI had alleged that in her assessment note, Ashk mentioned that Sangma should be given four units of blood and the opinion of a gynaecologist be taken but neither the gynaecologist was called for six hours, nor blood transfused for five hours, resulting in Sangma’s death.
