“This oxygen is extremely valuable right now. Without it patients get giddy and suffer,” Rahul said.

“You call out for the attendant, but they don’t come. They come in an hour’s time or more, and you have to manage in their absence somehow.”

Rahul's wife Jyoti shared the news he had died.

In a video from hospital he said attendants did not come when patients called for them.

“Justice for every Rahul,” Jyoti wrote on the video, which has been viewed more than one million times.

Rahul said in a Facebook post before he died that he thought his death was avoidable.

“I would have lived had I received better treatment,” he said. “Yours, Irahul Vohra.”

The post tagged the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The crisis in India continues to worsen with each passing day. The country set a new record for the number of infections in the past 24 hours, reporting 414,000 new cases.

The number is the highest figure ever, for any country at any point in the pandemic. Some 4000 people died in the same period.

Many epidemiologists are of the opinion the numbers being reported are lower than the actual numbers of infections and deaths.
