    Sandhu complained of lack of infrastructure at the government hospital

  • After Sandhu was taken to the Beliaghata Infectious Diseases Hospital, she refused to come out of the ambulance alleging that it lacked proper infrastructure.

    Eventually, with the permission of the health department, she was admitted to a private hospital.

    Before leaving, she was made to sign a declaration that she was unwilling to get admitted there as "she felt the medical establishment lacked infrastructure".
