Kin of the victims have alleged staff negligence and lack of safety measures resulting in ICU blaze. The fire, attributed to a short circuit, resulted in the unfortunate loss of six lives, confirmed SMS Hospital Trauma Centre In-charge Dr. Anurag Dhakad.

Even then, we removed four or five patients. My aunt&#8217;s son was there. He was fine. They were about to discharge him in a day or two,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WATCH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WATCH<\/a> | SMS Hospital fire, Jaipur | &quot;&#8230; It was my aunt&#39;s son.
