The police foiled the attempt by the woman’s family members, who poured diesel on themselves and tried to set themselves ablaze, they said, news agency PTI reported. Her family initially took her to the district hospital, where they were advised to contact an orthopaedic specialist at the private Dhanwantri Hospital as no bone specialist was available there. She died during treatment at the private hospital on August 6, according to the police and her family. The police seized the diesel can from the family members, averting a possible mishap, they added. The family members subsequently began a sit-in at the premises, raising slogans and alleging that the health department was trying to protect the doctors accused in the case.
