The newly appointed superintendent at Hamidia hospital Dr Deepak Maravi remained unavailable to comment on the issue.

The superintendent of Hamidia hospital was removed on Saturday, a day after chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan visited the facility and two officers of the medical education department — additional chief secretary (medical education) Prabhanshu Kamal and Gandhi Medical College (GMC) dean Dr Ulka Shrivastava — were transferred.
