A compounder, Devi Singh Rajpurohit, who was arrested in connection with the death of Sadhvi Prem Baisa, has been released by the police. Rajpurohit was held for administering injections to the Sadhvi, leading to a deterioration in her condition and subsequent death. The compounder was granted bail on February 19 as the case falls under bailable sections of the law.
According to police sources, a case of rash and negligent medical conduct was filed against Rajpurohit nearly 20 days after the Sadhvi’s passing. Following the case registration, Rajpurohit was arrested on February 19 and released after posting a bail bond.
DCP West Vineet Bansal confirmed that the charges against Rajpurohit were bailable and that the arrest and subsequent release were conducted following legal procedures. If found guilty, the compounder could face a maximum punishment of two years in prison.
Sadhvi Prem Baisa passed away on January 28 at her ashram in Jodhpur. Her family reported that she was suffering from cold symptoms and breathing difficulties, prompting the compounder’s visit for treatment. After administering injections, her condition worsened, leading to her demise at Preksha Hospital.
