BENGALURU: A watch costing Rs 2 lakh, belonging to an elderly person who was admitted to a private hospital, was allegedly stolen along with his sweater. The man’s daughter, who is distressed over theft of her father’s valuable watch, which was his last memory, has filed a complaint with the Govindarajanagar police.
The patient, K Ramaiah, had been admitted to a private hospital a few months ago for treatment due to severe illness, but died in the hospital without responding to treatment. But during treatment, the sweater on his person and a watch worth Rs 2 lakh were stolen.
