Family vs hospital
Kirit Shah said, “He was my younger brother and stayed with me. He'd been suffering from Ankylosing spondylitis since he was 25... "He'd left home at 9.45 am that day; a while later, we got a call about him being stung. I sent my son to take him to hospital; there, we were told he is critical, and by evening, he was no more. Hospital authorities didn't let us to meet him during his last hours. They insisted on carrying out the post-mortem, even though it was clear the sting had killed him."
