Ludhiana, June 9
DSP Harjinder Singh, who had sought Rs 80 lakh from the Punjab government for lung transplant post Covid-19 died in SPS Apollo Hospital in Ludhiana on Wednesday.
His friend, Harry Sharma, said the Punjab government could not arrange funds and means for the lung transplant.
The DSP had posted a heart-rending video a few days back from the hospital saying the government should fund his treatment instead of giving ex-gratia relief after his death.
“Fund my treatment and give me a chance to live, instead of giving compensation after my death,” Deputy Jail Superintendent Harjinder Singh had appealed from a hospital bed after having lost both lungs to the Covid-19 infection.
