Without any help in sight, both the mother and the young boy loaded the patient on the stretcher and pushed him to the hospital all by themselves.
In an interview, Bindu Yadav said:Â
Hospital staff was asking for Rs 30 every time for taking the stretcher to the ward for the dressing of my father and when I refused to give him the money, he refused to push the stretcher, so I had to drag it with the help of my son Shivam.Â
As the video went viral, District Magistrate Amit Kishore, visited the family members of the patients in the hospital. Post which, the hospital was asked to submit a report on the matter. After the proper investigation, it was found that the ward boy did ask for a bribe. He was found to be a culprit and now he has been removed.
Angry and unhappy netizens came forward to express their disappointment with the sad state of affairs and the lack of empathy.
Dear child????, SALUTE to U,

Kishore in an interview said:
The viral video is two-days-old and prima facie, the ward boy has been found to be the culprit. He has been removed by the chief medical officer. We will ensure that such incidents do not take place again.Â
While this 6-YO and his mother’s courage is worth an applaud, it is heartbreaking how many in our country are struggling with the broken healthcare system. We wish this grandfather a speedy recovery and hope no family has to undergo such a horrific experience.
