A woman in distress, who was unable to clear her hospital bills, got help from an unlikely quarter: the police. Assistant Sub Inspector Jagadish and his colleague, Constable Mohan, attached to Hoysala, helped her by pooling in on Sunday.
The victim had dues of ₹1.25 lakh towards pending bills for the surgery of her relative at a private hospital. She was short of money and unable to clear it. After an argument with the hospital staff, the woman called the control room seeking help.
Mr. Jagadish and Mr. Mohan, who were on patrolling duty nearby, went to attend to the complaint. They noticed the woman had ₹70,000 and was in a desperate situation. They spoke to the hospital for concession, and the management agreed to reduce the amount by ₹20,000.
