Modi government launched Ayushman Bharat Scheme aims to provide better health benefits to the poor people of the country. While many beneficiaries of the this scheme were treated for free, there has been a major negligence associated with Ayushman Bharat Scheme in medical college of Lucknow.
In a recent shocking incident, a man alleged that despite having an Ayushman Bharat card, his relative was refused treatment at King George’s Medical University in Lucknow.

The victim was identified as 28-year-old Kamlesh and had reportedly electrocuted himself three days. He was rushed to the district hospital from where he was referred to KGMU.
