Patient from Mainpuri Admitted with Severe Pain

Her brother, Balram, said she was admitted late Friday evening in a serious condition and showed little improvement despite treatment overnight.
Alleged Early Discharge Despite Critical Condition
Relatives claim that by Saturday morning, the patient remained unconscious and unable to move. Despite this, she was allegedly discharged by hospital authorities.

Patient Left Outside in Extreme Heat
The region was experiencing temperatures of around 47–48°C, according to local accounts. The family alleges that due to the discharge, the woman had to be placed under a tree outside the hospital premises.

Hospital Administration Silent So Far
