Mid-day, while trying to uncover details about the case, stumbled upon far more sinister goings-on at the institution. Over a long investigation, the reporters found that the asylum has been admitting perfectly sane people by certifying them as unstable for as paltry a bribe as Rs 8,200. One of the Mid-day reporters, Saimullah Khan approached the hospital staff with a request to admit his ‘cousin’ Faizan, who is another reporter from Mid-day. When the reporters followed the legitimate admission procedure, the staff refused to entertain them.
