A senior citizen died after he was allegedly abandoned on a street by the hospital where he had been taken to around 24 hours before. He had been taken to Rukminibai Civic Hospital in Kalyan West by a political party worker with the help of police. The hospital authorities claim  somebody took him from the hospital without admitting him. The police are verifying the claim and have filed an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in the matter. 

On the afternoon of February 17 (Wednesday), Umesh Borgaonkar, a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) worker, received information that an unidentified man was lying ill on the footpath of Amrut Park at Kalyan (W). The police said the man used to stay at the spot. When Borgaonkar reached the spot he realised the person was paralysed and couldn’t move or tell his name.
