  • Toddler dies in Rajasthan as family waited in vain for Rs 16 cr injection

    By IANS

    JAIPUR: A two-year-old boy named Tanishq, who was suffering from a rare disease called spinal muscular atrophy, died after his family’s every effort to procure an injection costing Rs 16 crore that is required to treat the ailment failed to yield a positive result.

    Tanishq’s father Shaitan Singh had appealed to the government to make arrangements for the injection at its own level for his child. However, nothing happened in this regard.

    As soon as the news of Tanishq’s death came, a pal of gloom descended over Nadwa village in Nagaur district.

    Waiting for the injection, Tanishq died during treatment at the JK Lone Hospital in Jaipur.

    Incidentally, Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) MP Hanuman Beniwal had sought help for Tanishq from the Central government last year.

    Tanishq was waiting for the injection for a year and a half. When he was nine-month-old, the doctors in Jaipur had asked his family members to arrange an injection that cost Rs 16 crore.

    To arrange such a huge amount, his relatives had appealed to both the state government and the Centre so that the toddler could be saved.

    A few months back, a court had ordered that every ill person should be provided medicine, but Tanishq’s case once again shows that that is not the case in Rajasthan.

    The family members of Jameel, a child in Churu district who was suffering from a rare disease, had filed a petition in the Rajasthan High Court, after which the Sambal portal was launched by the state government, and Jameel’s interim treatment was done on the orders of the high court.

    After the ruling in Jameel’s petition, the Central government had made Jodhpur AIIMS the only centre of excellence for rare diseases in Rajasthan, in which any patient suffering from a rare disease can get treated.

  • UP: Body of missing 2-year-old found in suitcase in neighbour’s house

    By IANS

    GREATER NOIDA: In a shocking incident, the body of a two-year-old toddler, who was missing for two days now, was on Sunday found stuffed in a suitcase lying in her neighbour’s house in Greater Noida, police said.

    The neighbour is absconding.

    The incident was reported from Devla village in the Surajpur area.

    The victim was one of the two children of Shiv Kumar and his wife who lived in a rented accommodation in Devla. On April 7, Shiv Kumar, who worked in a local factory, was on duty, and his wife stepped out to go to the market, leaving both children at home. When she returned, her daughter was missing. She inquired around the neighbourhood but found no trace of her, and finally approached the police. Police filed a missing complaint and launched a search but it was also fruitless.

    On Sunday afternoon, the family noticed a stench from their next-door neighbour’s house, which was locked, and alerted the police. A police team from Surajpur reached the area and searched the house, only to find the body of the missing girl in a suitcase there.

    It was found that the house was of a man named Raghavendra, who had also joined the search for the girl after her mother found her missing from home, but had subsequently disappeared.

    Police have sent the body of the child for a post-mortem examination and are probing further.
