Meerut, Jan 16: Indian pacer Mohammed Shami's father, Tauseef Ahmad, on Friday claimed that his family was in 'danger' as they were being targeted in the name of ‘cow slaughter’

shamiHis comments a day after his son Mohammad Haseeb (brother of Shami) was arrested and then subsequently released on bail on charge of assaulting and “pressuring” cops to release a few men arrested on charges of cow slaughter

"My son was not even present there at the time of the incident and had reached the site only much later," Ahmad told media persons.

“Haseeb was just an onlooker like so many others who had gathered there. He was unnecessarily dragged into the controversy. It is just that a few persons are nurturing enmity with our family because of the publicity we have got after Shami started playing for team India. I had reported the issue to the Amroha district magistrate (DM) in this regard a month ago. This (the arrest) is the result of that. A term like 'cow slaughter' is being used to target us."

Amroha DM Ved Prakash meanwhile confirmed that Ahmad had indeed met him a month ago. "It is true he had met me with a complaint that someone was threatening his family on phone. But he did not mention who his tormentors were."

On Thursday afternoon, station officer of Didoli police station, Praveen Kumar, got a tip-off regarding a person wanted in a case of cow slaughter. When the team led by Kumar went to arrest the man, Haseeb allegedly prevented the police from doing their job and allegedly scuffled with sub-inspector Pradeep Bhardwaj.

In the confusion, the accused fled the scene. Police then arrested Haseeb and filed charges against him.

Cops said that they filed an FIR against Haseeb under IPC sections 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapon), 153 (promoting enmity between different groups), 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty) and 224 (resistance or obstruction by a person to his lawful apprehension). However, on account of his ill-health, he was given bail.

Bajrangis and sangh pariwar members should adopt a cow each and protect the cow. So, there will be no cow slaughter. But, how to trust these radicals, they will only sell the cows.

Bengaluru, July 15: The family members of a 67-year-old man, who had developed some symptoms of Covid-19, was in for a rude shock when a “reputed” private hospital in Bengaluru’s Whitefield quoted estimated bill of Rs 9.09 lakh for 10 days.

The elderly man was rushed to Columbia Asia Hospital even before receiving his covid-19 test report. But after a look at the estimated bill, the family chose not to admit him there.

The break-up of the estimated bill included Rs 1.40 lakh for ventilator, Rs 3 lakh for medicines, medical supplies and consumables, Rs 2 lakh for laboratory investigations, Rs 75,000 for room rent, Rs 75,000 towards professional fee, Rs 58,500 for nursing charges, Rs 35,000 for radiology investigations and physiotherapy, and Rs 25,000 for equipment and surgical items.

The hospital authorities reportedly told the family members that the actual bill could be higher in the event of complications, unanticipated extension of stay and comorbidities.

“He was tested on Sunday and we were waiting for the result. On Monday, he started gasping for breath. Columbia Asia Hospital told us they had an ICU bed and we rushed him to the emergency care. When they showed us the estimate, we were shocked,” said Abdul Bashir, a nephew of the patient.

“We then contacted Dr Taha Mateen of HBS Hospital through an NGO ‘Mercy Mission’. We got him admitted there for just Rs 25,000,” he said adding that Hospitals should not take advantage when emotions are running high.
