Agartala, 01 Oct 2026:<\/strong> Questions have been raised over the collection, accounting and utilisation of public donations for the treatment of Manashri Chowdhury, a child suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type-1. A group of concerned donors and citizens has reportedly submitted a written complaint to the authorities, seeking a transparent and impartial investigation into the matter.

According to the complainants, donations were made on humanitarian grounds to support the child’s medical treatment. However, they have expressed concerns over alleged discrepancies in the information shared about the total funds collected, the actual cost of treatment, the utilisation of donations and the additional amount required.

The complaint reportedly refers to two different figures mentioned in connection with the treatment expenses. According to the complainants, the child’s father had earlier referred to a down payment of \u20b910.60 crore, while the mother subsequently cited a treatment cost of \u20b929.70 crore. The complainants have sought clarification regarding the difference between these figures and requested the disclosure of supporting medical and financial documents.

The complainants have also called for scrutiny of the bank accounts used to receive donations, the maintenance of financial records and compliance with applicable rules and guidelines governing medical fundraising. They have urged the authorities to verify the total amount collected from the public and determine how the funds have been utilised.

Concerns have also been raised over information circulated on social media regarding the child’s treatment, the amount collected and the financial requirements. The complainants have called for the disclosure of relevant documents, including hospital bills, payment receipts, details of funds received and estimated future treatment expenses, to address questions raised by donors.

The written complaint has also sought an examination of allegations relating to religious sensitivities and possible attempts to create social or religious discord. In addition, the complainants have requested an investigation into any alleged intimidation or pressure against donors or individuals who raised questions about the fundraising process.

The complainants have stated that their objective is to ensure transparency and accountability in the handling of public donations rather than to establish allegations against any individual or family without verification. They have urged the authorities to conduct a fair, impartial and document-based investigation into the matter.

The allegations have not been independently verified, and no conclusion can be drawn regarding any wrongdoing at this stage. The response of the concerned individuals or family was not available in the information provided for this report. Any response from them would be relevant to presenting their side of the matter. Further developments will depend on the authorities’ response to the complaint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
