A tragic incident unfolded at Pilkhuwa's Saraswati Hospital when a five-year-old girl, Amreen, was denied medical treatment over her parents' failure to pay Rs 20,000. Her parents, daily wage laborers, rushed her to the facility on June 20.
Facing refusal, they were advised to transfer her to a government hospital, but the delay proved fatal. Amreen's parents allege that the hospital's inaction resulted in her death.
Hapur Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sunil Tyagi, has initiated an investigation, pledging strict action if the allegations are confirmed. Meanwhile, BJP leader Mohammad Danish appealed to Union Health Minister JP Nadda for stringent measures against the hospital, labeling their actions as 'inhuman.'
