kanpur, Feb. 19 -- Rajesh Dixit spent eight days walking the corridors of the very hospital where his son lay dying, turned away each time because no one had heard of an 'Anuj Dixit.' His injured son had called from a stranger's phone to say he was being taken to Kanpur's Ursula Horsman Memorial (UHM) Hospital. What the 68-year-old father did not know was that an alleged clerical error had already registered the waiter under a wrong name. There was no Anuj Dixit in their records. There was only an 'Arun', and by the time the truth surfaced, it was too late. Anuj Dixit, 42, a waiter from Arya Nagar, died on Tuesday morning after spending a week as an unidentified patient. His father, who had rushed back from Kosamba, Gujarat, arriving on February 9, went straight to the UHM emergency and OPD wards. He came back every single day. Each time, he left alone. The ordeal had begun on February 6 when Anuj was injured in a road accident in Arya Nagar. Anuj had self-admitted to the hospital, but an alleged clerical error during registration had recorded his name as 'Arun.' While his father pleaded with hospital staff who had no record of any Anuj Dixit, the waiter lay dying under a wrong name. The family searched the LLR Hospital and several private clinics across the Kanpur district. Rajesh eventually filed a missing person report with the Kohna police. "We kept searching everywhere. I thought perhaps he had recovered and gone somewhere else, that he would call from somewhere," Rajesh recalled. "I went to UHM every single day, but no one could tell me anything about him." The search ended Tuesday (February 17) when officers from Kohna police station, led by SHO Prateek Singh, arrived at the Dixit residence. Working from hospital records carrying a slightly incorrect address, they traced the family. Rajesh learned his son was dead when he was shown a photograph on a policeman's mobile phone screen. "If I had found him in time, I could have arranged better treatment," he said. UHM Hospital director Dr BC Pal said a committee has been formed to examine how the error occurred....
