According to a senior police officer, a complaint was filed on November 11 by a resident of Pandav Nagar, Vishwas Nagar, who stated that he had admitted his mother to the emergency ward of a private hospital located in Krishna Nagar. The patient, who was in critical condition, was immediately placed on oxygen support. Shortly afterwards, doctors advised the attendant to shift her to another hospital for further treatment.
