Gurugram hospital withholds body over ₹18 lakh bill; NHRC steps in

The NHRC has stepped in after a 30-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur died at a private hospital in Gurugram following a dispute over an unpaid bill. His family said they paid ₹23 lakh for his treatment using savings and loans. The hospital had demanded an additional ₹18 lakh but handed over the body without collecting the amount after an NHRC warning. The investigation is ongoing.
