After mid-day's page 1 story on Monday highlighted how an old woman was being ill-treated in an old age home, it has taken her to a hospital for treatment. The octogenarian was suffering on footpaths before the Radhika old age home in Gorai brought her in.

Locals staying in adjoining buildings had alleged that since April the home staff was dragging the woman by her hair to the terrace, where she was made to sleep in filth. The home, however, claimed it was keeping her there because she is mentally unwell.
