Kol: Rs 3L deposit demand plaint by victim’s kin

In the first police complaint of high deposit demand after the West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission allowed hospitals to charge an advance of no more than Rs 50,000 or 20% of the estimated treatment cost (whichever was lower) at the time of admission, the family of a Covid victim from Tamluk on Tuesday alleged that she died in an ambulance while a private hospital off EM Bypass — now a corona unit — kept asking for a deposit of Rs 3 lakh. The complaint lodged with Anandapur police has been forwarded to health department for inquiry.
