West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday offered a job to the wife of Sanjay Roy, who allegedly died of medical negligence at a private hospital in the city last month.
Ruby Roy met the Chief Minister at Nabanna Building.
She later said that she had been offered a job in the State Tourism Department. Ms Roy was appointed Assistant Trainee Manager with a salary of Rs 20,000 per month.
“She talked to me like a mother and said that since you are young, you should stand on your own feet,” Ms Roy told journalists.
Assurance on probe
She said the Chief Minister assured her that the investigation in her husband’s death would continue.
After the death of Mr Roy on February 23, his family members had levelled allegations of medical negligence against the hospital.
The family members also alleged that the hospital authorities had asked them to make full payments of bill before he was shifted to the State-run SSKM hospital.
Road accident
Mr Roy was admitted to the private hospital on February 16 after a road accident.
On February 23, the family members wanted that the patient be shifted to SSKM hospital. The patient passed away at the hospital.
Following the incident the State health department had formed a committee to look into the matter.
The police have questioned the hospital authorities along with Rupali Bose, the director of the hospital in the eastern region.
