Following complaints of inflated bills and the latest allegation of medical negligence that led to the death of 34-year-old Prashant Kale at Family Care Hospital in Mahim on July 25, the civic body suspended its licence for a month on Thursday. While Kale's kin has filed a complaint with Mahim police, the hospital has been asked to shut down and discharge all patients within 48 hours.

Kiran Dhanu, Kale's brother-in-law said that he had gone to Saraswati Nursing Home in Matunga on July 24 for an infected boil. "He had a painful boil and fever that came and went. The doctor suggested draining it to avoid the pus from spreading. The doctor initially said we could take him home but then put him on oxygen saying he was breathless," he said.
