An Indian doctor Kafeel Khan, blamed for the deaths of dozens of children, has been cleared of charges of medical negligence, corruption and not performing his duty in the 2017 Gorakhpur children death cases.
Dr Kafeel Khan is now demanding an apology from the government after he was cleared by an official probe.
Dr Kafeel Khan was arrested for culpable homicide after more than 100 children died in August 2017 in a public hospital in Uttar Pradesh state. Children admitted at the hospital had lost their lives due to oxygen shortage .
He was granted bail last April, but a criminal case against him continues. However, it has now emerged a 15-page government report has cleared him of any negligence.
What will happen with the criminal case is still unclear.
