The plea was dismissed on the ground that the victim was treated for free and hence the case did not come under the purview of Consumer Protection Act.

The attendant literally jumped out of his chair on reading it. Soon, there was a commotion as other attendants joined him in castigating the hospital authorities.

Raisen's sub-divisional magistrate Umrao Singh Maravi told "The matter is being investigated. This is true that the glucose being given to Munne Bhai was actually meant for animals."

"A probe has been launched to ascertain how such a bottle arrived in the hospital and how it was being given to a patient. Action would be taken against anyone found guilty," he added.
