After a series of representations given by leaders from the North-East region to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) today handed over the probe into the deaths of two Dimapur relatives – Rosy Sangma and Samuel Sangma – in a Gurugram hospital last month to the CBI.

The MHA said, “The Ministry has requested the CBI to inquire into the case of the deaths of the siblings.”

It further said, “The case relates to the death of Rosy Sangma in a Gurugram hospital on June 24 after she had complained of a medical condition. Later, Samuel Sangma, a relative of Rosy, suspecting medical negligence, had an altercation with doctors and staff of the hospital. The next day (June 25), the Delhi Police received information regarding the death of Samuel Sangma in New Delhi.”

The family of the deceased alleged that Rosy had died due to negligence on part of the hospital and they also attributed some alleged foul play in the death of Samuel by the hospital personnel, the MHA said.
