The other nursing home refused to admit her saying that her condition was bad. Dr. Yadav then abandoned the woman and fled the place, and later the hospital declared her dead at 9.30 am. when she died all staff including the doctors left the place. When the woman's family reached Durgesh hospital, they found the name board hanging on the second floor of the building missing. The hospital had been shut and all equipment and beds were missing. Dr. Yadav was later tracked down and a case of negligence was filed against him.
