Dengue victim's father claims he was refunded entire sum spent on treatment

The father of seven-year-old Shaurya Pratap, who died due to dengue last year, today claimed that he was refunded the entire treatment cost of Rs 15.88 lakh by Medanta hospital in Gurugram where he was treated.

Shaurya's father, Gopendra Singh Parmar, however, did not produce any documentary proof of receiving the money and repeated efforts to contact Medanta authorities did not elicit any response.

Parmar referred to his poor financial condition at a press conference organised by non-profit group All India Drug Action Network (AIDAN)
