Dr Kafeel Khan of Gorakhpur`s BRD Medical College and Hospital, who was terminated from service on November 11, has said that he will move the High Court against the Uttar Pradesh government`s decision. Khan was terminated in connection with deaths of children, allegedly due to oxygen shortage in 2017.

Speaking to reporters, Khan said: "The (Uttar Pradesh) government has claimed there are four allegations against me. They have upheld three of those and exonerated me in the case of medical negligence. Even the court has observed that I tried my best to save lives... I will approach the court to overturn the decision." He quoted a document by the Uttar Pradesh Medical Education Department and said that the first allegation against him is that of undertaking private practice.
