The patient’s family also said that they had no clue whether the patient lived or had died when they were approached for the balance amount insisting that  as per the doctors the patient had a very short time to live.

On the other hand, the hospital administration said that the family wanted to take the patient away and they merely asked for the amount. The administration did not deny the patient’s discharge at all. They also said that some agents were moving around in the hospital to sneak some amount from the hospital administration.

Police says that the issue of amount was resolved and seeing the financial condition of the family, the balance was waived off by the hospital.
