Bengaluru, Jul 31: An ambulance driver was thrashed by the family members of a 75-year-old COVID-19 patient who passed away on his way to the hospital in Bengaluru on Thursday.
The incident happened after the patient died in the ambulance while waiting in front of the MS Ramaiah Hospital in Bengaluru.
The driver was dragged out of the ambulance and chased around by a relative.
His clothes were ripped off and harangue were hurled at him. The relative was seen shouting and blaming the driver for the patient's death.

Karnataka is one of the worst-affected states by the coronavirus pandemic. According to the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the state has 67,456 active cases as of Friday.
The state government has been struggling to contain the spread of the disease as it has intermittently imposed and eased lockdown measures, especially in the capital Bengaluru.
The vehicle, worth Rs. 35 lakh, was flagged off by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu earlier on Monday.

In some point of view he did good work.. but our so called nationalist people will forget it soon and start blaming Muslims same way they use to do now! So he should have donated it or that money to poor people atleast they will pray for him.. May Allah give him Hidaya to help more those who are needy!
good people always do good work.
he may be out of the mind, simply wasted money instead he would have fed lots of poor children.
will donate gold chadar soon to mosque.
Real India soul, bend the knee and big solute to him.
