Sources say Rajamma using her influence allotted a job to Sumalatha and collected mamools from her every month. However, since last month she has refused to give mamools to Rajamma, this angered her and on Monday afternoon, she allegedly caught hold of Sumalatha at the hospital premises, tied her with a chain and thrashed her.

Sumalatha alleged that Rajamma was demanding a bribe of Rs. 2 lakh to get her the job. She even threatened to kill her if she failed to pay the amount.

Surprisingly, the MGM superintendent claimed that Rajamma was not an employ of the hospital and that the incident had nothing to do with the hospital.
