Bihar couple is pleading for funds to pay 50,000 “Bribe” to the hospital for their son’s body
An elderly couple is asking for money to “get their son’s body released from a government hospital” on the streets of Samastipur, Bihar. A hospital employee allegedly demanded 50,000 from the couple in order to release their son’s body. The couple is walking around the city “begging for money” because they don’t have any.
On social media, a video of the couple has gone viral. His son had gone missing a few days ago, according to his father. “My son had gone missing a while back. We’ve just received word that my son’s body has arrived at Sadar Hospital in Samastipur. A hospital employee has requested 50,000 in exchange for the release of my son’s body. We’re poor people; how will we be able to pay this sum?, “ANI quoted Mahesh Thakur as saying.
The majority of the hospital’s health workers are on contract, and they frequently do not receive their paychecks on time. There have been a number of instances where staff members have taken money from patients’ relatives. The hospital administration has stated that strict measures will be taken in this case. “Those who are found guilty will not be spared. This is an embarrassment to humanity “Samastipur civil surgeon Dr. SK Chaudhary said.
