Shovarani Mondal (41), a resident of Hingalganj in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, is suffering from liver cancer and is being treated at CNCI for the last few days.

His family claimed that after getting instruction from hospital's nurses, two lady attendants bought Leucovorin (It is a reduced folic acid, used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs to either enhance effectiveness or as a chemoprotectant) injections from hospital's storeroom for Shovarani Mondal on Monday.

According to the family members, attendants took nearly Rs 6500   for the injections.  

When her family members noticed that the injections became outdated, they prevented the nurses from injecting those.

However, the family members on Tuesday demonstrated inside the hospital and submitted a written complaint to the hospital's superintendent. They also put forward the packets of those injections as evidences.

The director of CNCI, Jaydeep Biswas told IBNS: "I have received a complaint. Those expired injections were not pushed into the patient's body. We have formed a probe committee. After getting report from the committee, we will take necessary action."

According to hospital reports, these two nurses and two lady attendants have been directed not to join duty until the probe committee's report comes out.
