A 52-year-old renal patient in Murshidabad’s Salar breathed her last inside an ambulance that was allegedly stopped by drivers of other ambulances on Monday night. ADVERTISEMENTThe alleged perpetrators of the Murshidabad case are members of an ambulance union, who allegedly run a monopoly of plying patients from Salar block hospital, where patient Chand Tara Bibi was brought for treatment. Bibi's sons Shakib and Asif Sheikh had ferried her from their Madhaipur home to Salar block hospital around 11.30pm on Monday. But as they were boarding the ambulance that they arrived in, three men stopped them, Shakib said. “Doctors at the Salar hospital referred my mother to a medical college and hospital, so we were taking her to Burdwan.
