The patient's condition deteriorated and he was taken to another hospital where he died. A video of the alleged incident went viral.
However, district magistrate Sanjay Kumar Khatri claimed there was no fruit juice in the pouch of platelets.
The hospital authorities claimed that the platelets were brought by the attendants of the patient as the hospital does not have the authority to test the platelets.

"We do not have the authority to test the platelets to verify their validity. We do not test the platelets that the attendants bring. How is the hospital responsible if the attendants fetch the wrong platelets? It should be the responsibility of the attendants to ascertain whether they are authentic," hospital owner Saurabh Mishra said.
