In a shocking incident of alleged medical indifference, an elderly man was tied to a hospital bed in Madhya Pradesh after he allegedly failed to make payment of fees for his treatment. The hospital, however, claimed that he was having convulsions and as a result had his hands and legs tied so that he could not hurt himself.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has taken note of the matter and has promised to take strict action against the hospital based in Shajapur. The district hospital has also ordered a probe into the matter.

The man's family alleged that the hospital administration tied his legs and hands to bed after he failed to pay Rs 11,000.
