According to parents as cited by the Times of India, the little boy died on Tuesday because staff at a UP hospital’s staff allegedly demanded bribes to give the baby medical aid.
“(We) received a complaint that that a child’s parents were asked to pay Rs30 for bed by the sweeper. He has been removed from duty,” said OP Pandey, the chief medical superintendent of the hospital, the report said.
