A baby died when a hospital in India refused to accept a deposit paid in banknotes which were withdrawn from circulation the day before.
Police said they are investigating a doctor in a Mumbai suburb who allegedly turned away a couple with a premature baby because they did not have the correct currency.
Kiran Sharma gave birth to a boy around one month early on 9 November and was rushed to Jeevan Jyot Hospital in Govandi to the east of the city, reported The New Indian Express.
A doctor provided basic care to the premature baby and charged a 6,000 rupee (£70) deposit for the full treatment.
But they allegedly refused to accept the payment in 500 rupee (£6) banknotes offered by Ms Sharma’s husband Jagadish. Full story...
