NIN Web Desk : The question is that it was known many months ago that the fake saline was being manufactured. Even that organization supplies who trusts?
Why the factory owners were not jailed? How does this saline even reach the Gangesagar Mela? According to the post-mortem report, Mamni Rui Das died of multiorgan failure with septic shock, which means that there must be a source of infection that could have come from contamination from the controversial Ringer’s Lactate Solution/Oxytocin with a high chance.Oxytocin is a peptide hormone that is normally released from the posterior pituitary gland, which plays an important role in preventing postpartum hemorrhage.
A synthetic form of this hormone called syntocinone (synthetic oxytocin) is used in medicine. However, there are some restrictions and regulations of the World Health Organization regarding the use of these hormone injections, which are properly observed in all hospitals. It is usually injected directly into the muscle or mixed with Ringer’s lactate or normal saline.

In excess, it can have harmful effects on the body such as water intoxication, sudden accumulation of water in different parts of the body, cardiac arrest, sudden heart failure, etc. For this reason, this hormone is used in limited doses in all these places. The chances of an overdose are very low in this case which may be – 1. If the quality of saline or oxytocin is bad then it is bound to have an adverse reaction. 2. Cold chain system – oxytocin hormone injection is very heat sensitive, so if not stored at the right temperature it can spoil, leading to adverse reactions.Now the question is why CID is investigating Medinipur Medical College?
If there is any negligence or procedural error that should be investigated only by team of doctors i.e. doctors of institute like AIIMS. It is totally illegal that the CID is interrogating the doctors concerned. The CID should interrogate the top officials of the health administration why they did not ban the use of RL solution despite the objections of the CDSCO and the Karnataka government? Why did the West Bengal government stop the production of Ringer’s lactate solution in a notice? Why did it reach Gangasagar Mela on 7th January 2025 even after Government of West Bengal ordered to stop using Ringer Lactate Solution?
Matching the patient’s blood culture with the cultures of the Ringer’s lactate that was infused clears up a lot, but what to do? Not only are doctors being made scapegoats every time but it’s not fair. A fair investigation should be done immediately without delay.Each and every time the Doctors are made Scapegoat as well as made to stand on the scaffold, Why?
