Clinic ransack
A patient’s relative was arrested from Ruby General Hospital, on EM Bypass, for ransacking the reception area. M.K. Sarkar allegedly smashed window panes and glasses with an iron rod following an altercation with the hospital authorities. He alleged that the hospital had overcharged his mother-in-law, Malina Chowdhury, who was admitted to the hospital last Friday with gall bladder problems. Her family had requested that she be put in a BPL category bed, which the hospital refused. Malina was discharged on Thursday, but Sarkar claimed on Friday that the bill was hefty. The hospital, however, claimed that Malina was charged only Rs 5,000 for her treatment.
