In a tragic incident, an ailing boy died on his father’s shoulder in Kanpur city of Uttar Pradesh on Monday after the government-run Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital(LLR) allegedly denied admitting him.
The emergency section of the hospital refused to admit 12-year-old Ansh and asked his father, Sunil Kumar, to take him to a children’s hospital.
Further, Kumar was not even provided a stretcher to carry his son to the children’s hospital, which is 250 meters away from LLR.
According to reports, Kumar had to wait for at least half an hour before the staff at LLR hospital denied admitting his son. After half an hour, they asked Kumar to take his son to a children’s hospital.
Kumar then rushed to the children’s hospital, carrying Ansh on his shoulders. But sadly, he was too late.
The doctors at the children’s hospital declared Ansh dead on arrival.
Even then, no body came for help. The poor father had to again carry his now dead son on his shoulders all the way back.
