According to family members, Mun Mun Chowdary, who sustained grievous injuries in the explosion, was admitted to Dhruva Hospital. When his father-in-law, Birendra Chowdary (53), came to visit him early on Thursday morning, he suddenly fainted on the hospital premises. Birendra Chowdary was immediately admitted to the hospital. However, within 24 hours, the family was handed a bill of Rs.70,000 for various tests and treatment procedures, leaving them shocked.
