Posing as a distraught relative of a patient in the ICU, he cheats 2 others of their money in a Bandra hospital

A con man recently left two good Samaritans with little will to help strangers in need ever again. On Wednesday, Girish, an NRI from Dubai, came to visit his father who was admitted in the Intensive Care Unit at Holy Family Hospital in Bandra. While he was in the waiting room, a stranger narrated his plight about not having enough money for treating his brother admitted in the same ICU. Girish gave him Rs 1,800 while another man in the room parted with Rs 4,000.
