On learning the death of the woman, relatives of her demanded action against the hospital authorities who have collected Rs 1 lakh from them and then demanded some amount to take the body.

According to the family members of the woman, Krishnaveni, she was admitted to Kamineni hospital on Tuesday night due to high fever and collected Rs 30,000 for the initial treatment. On Wednesday night, the staff then asked to pay Rs 70,000 medical bills. A few hours after paying the bills, the staff declared Krishnaveni dead and asked to pay some more amount to take her body.
