Several questions were raised regarding the quality of medical treatment provided at homes for rescued minors and adult women in Hadapasar after a 22-year-old Bangladeshi national Ruby Shaikh (name changed) died of tuberculosis (TB) on the same day of her admission to Sassoon hospital on May 18.u00a0
