The doctors told the couple they needed to pay money so that they can purchase surgical thread outside the hospital since the thread was not available at the hospital. However, the couple was unable to wait any longer due to their serious head injury and was asked to pay Rs 350 to get the stitching done and medicines by Md Amjad Ali.
