In an extremely unfortunate incident, a 56-year-old Nagpur lawyer died at GMCH on Friday as hospitals refused to allegedly give him primary treatment after he suffered a heart attack. Since the lawyer was suffering from breathlessness, hospitals were afraid that it may be because of COVID-19. However, the lawyer tested negative after his death.

As per a report in TOI, the lawyer, Nitin Ambilwade, a resident of model mills, was rushed to a private hospital in Pardi first at around 12:30 pm after he experienced difficulty in breathing due to angina pain. The hospital reportedly refused to even give primary treatment.

Ambilwade was the taken to two private hospitals in Nandanvan but those hospitals refused to admit him. The lawyer breathed his last at around 4 pm while he was being taken to GMCH. At GMCH, his swab sample was taken and he was found to be COVID-19 negative on Saturday.

District Bar Association has now decided to raise the issue with the district administration and state government. It has also demanded the authorities to take criminal action against the three private hospitals.
