A native of Raghavapatnam, Mallavva admitted her husband Rajanarsu at the district headquarters hospital one week ago as he developed ill-health.

Despite an injury on her left hand, Mallavva has been taking care of her husband.

As her blood pressure levels shot up, she slept on the bed allocated to Rajanarsu.

But instead of treating her, the hospital staff took Mallavva out of the hospital in a wheelchair and dropped her outside. Rajanarsu also left the hospital and stayed with his wife.

Other patients informed the matter to the police, who rushed to the spot and shifted the couple back into the hospital.
