BHAGALPUR: Twenty-eight out of 35 missing oxygen cylinders were mysteriously found at a secluded place on the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital (JLNMCH) here on Tuesday. Seven missing cylinders are yet to be recovered.
The recovery of the missing cylinders were made after the JLNMCH administration threatened to lodge an FIR with the Barari police and also constituted a three-member probe committee for making an internal investigation with the help of close circuit television (CCTV) camera footage and also one-to-one inquiry from paramedical staff, nurses and security guards.

Medical superintendent at JLNMCH Dr Asim Kumar Das said: “We recovered 28 missing oxygen cylinders dumped at an isolated place on the JLNMCH premises. Remaining missing oxygen cylinders will also be recovered soon. We do not rule out the hands of some insiders and hence we have initiated an in-depth probe."
The 35 portable oxygen cylinders were found missing last week from JLNMCH, a dedicated Covid-19 hospital of the region. A three-member probe committee comprising of Dr P B Mishra, Dr Arjun Singh and Dr Kumar Gaurav was formed on May 28 to investigate the issue.
Apprehending the involvement of paramedical staff, nurses, security guards at the hospital gates as well as attendants of patients, the JLNMCH administration circulated a note of warning about lodging an FIR regarding the same.
Dr Das said an FIR is yet to be lodged as an internal probe is on. “Appropriate legal action will be taken if someone from the staff members is found to be involved,” he said.
