Pandavapura (Mandya dist), Apr 14: Two schoolteachers clicked the SSLC?Hindi (third-language) question paper the moment it arrived at an examination centre in Pandavapura town on Wednesday morning, shared it on WhatsApp, printed it out and started selling it to students.

teacherShambunahalli Manjunath, a teacher at Jnana Bandhu School, and Manjunath, a physical education teacher at Vijaya High School, were among the first to get the paper when it arrived at Vijaya College of Education, some time after 9 am. They quickly clicked its pictures on their mobile phones and rushed to the office of a civil engineer where they printed it out.

But police got wind of the matter in the nick of time and raided the office.

They found that the paper was circulated on WhatsApp before making its way to the office of K Purushottam, the civil engineer. The printouts of the Hindi paper were found on the table. A laptop had soft copies of not just Hindi paper, but also Kannada, Social Science, Science and Mathematics papers. The police caught Purushottam and Nanjundaswamy, a teacher at a government primary school. But Shambunahalli Manjunath, Manjunath and an unidentified man fled the spot.

Pandavapura Block Education Officer B Chandrashekar claimed that the papers were sent to the exam centres only at 9.15 am. The seal was opened in the presence of supervisors and distributed to students at 9.30 am. “Despite this, it's shocking that the paper was leaked,” he said.

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.
