Bahraich: The parents of a 10-month-old boy, who died in a hospital in a district hospital, alleged that they were asked for bribe by the staff members.
The child's mother Sumita said that her son would have been saved had the nurses delivered the injection to him on time.
"After the doctor checked him for fever and weakness, he asked us to go ahead to admit him. The nurse asked us for money to get the documentation in order. After that, the sweeper at the children's ward also demanded bribe to allocate the bed," she added.
