The Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital demanded an upfront fee of ₹10 lakh for treatment, despite the family having ₹2.5 lakh available.
This refusal to admit her led to complications during the transfer to another facility. Sadly, the woman gave birth to twins but passed away shortly thereafter.The incident has ignited widespread outrage across the state, with many questioning whether Dinanath Mangeshkar Hospital prioritizes profit over human life.

This revelation has only intensified public anger and sparked calls for accountability within the healthcare system.As the community grapples with the fallout from this incident, it raises critical questions about the accessibility and ethics of healthcare services, especially in life-and-death situations.
