The Malleswaram police have registered yet another case under the Disaster Management Act against a private hospital for allegedly denying beds to COVID-19 patients. Based on a complaint by BBMP health officer Suresh Rudrappa, the police on Thursday registered an FIR against Vegus Hospital for failing to reserve beds to treat COVID-19 patients referred by the civic body. The hospital had denied admission to patients on April 27 and 28 citing non-availability of beds. “However, an inspection carried out by BBMP health officials found that the hospital management was lying and giving incorrect information on bed availability,” said a police officer.More Related News
