I am seeing Khan as one among them," Vijayan said. Vijayan asked him and other health workers who want to work in Kerala to get in touch with the Kozhikode Medical College Superintendent. Khan has said he was being wrongly framed by the administration in the case involving death of 63 children last August due to disruption of oxygen supply. Khan in a Facebook post requested the Kerala Chief Minister to allow him "to save innocent lives." He also praised the services of Lini, the nurse who succumbed on Monday to the virus. "After sehri n fajr namaz was trying to sleep but couldn't. Disturbed with increase no of mortality due to Nipah Virus (NiV )infection n rumors spreading on social media platforms," he said. "I request Kerala chief minister Mr Pinarayi Vijayan to allow me to serve at Calicut Medical college to save innocent lives. Sister Lini is an inspiration and I am more than willing to sacrifice my life for the noble cause," he added.
