Man booked for false promise of hospital bed at NIMS for COVID-positive patient

An inquiry revealed that the individual was not an employee of the hospital.

A person who cheated a man in distress by promising to get a bed for his COVID-19 positive mother at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences, was booked by the Punjagutta police here on Friday. However, the incident came to light only on Saturday. According to police, NIMS Superintendent Dr. N. Satyanarayana approached them stating that on May 18, one Krishna Reddy came to his office and lodged a written complaint stating that he brought his mother Sugunamma to the hospital for treatment, where he met one Prashanth who claimed that he will get his mother admitted and treated.
