Died before brain surgery: An investigation committee has been formed into the Sawai Mansingh Hospital (SMS) fire in Jaipur. However, no one has yet claimed responsibility. Even those who claim to have state-of-the-art medical facilities are remaining silent. Postmortems are being conducted on the bodies of the eight people killed in the fire, including 50-year-old Sarvesh Devi.
The story of Sarvesh Devi:
Sarvesh Devi's family brought her to SMS Hospital four days ago. They hoped she would receive proper treatment. However, a dysfunctional system took her life. The deceased had been in an accident and was admitted to the Trauma Center's ICU for a head operation. But she too died in the horrific accident last night.

The deceased's nephew, Ramakant, was present at the scene at the time of the incident. He personally described the horrific scene of Sunday night. Ramakant said that when the fire broke out at 11:30 p.m., he was sitting next to his aunt. He alerted the nursing staff, but they ignored him, only seeing the smoke.
A massive explosion then erupted, filling the area with smoke. The nursing staff fled, and no one came to rescue her. Sarvesh Devi also died.
