Pinki Devi, a relative of the deceased, alleged that the son of an inspector hit the victim on his head and later bribed the hospital to remove his name from the incident. She also claimed that the hospital took Rs 5 lakh from the family and still did not give any treatment to the child. "We paid around Rs 5 lakh here, but no treatment was done.
