The 60-year-old man, who hailed from Harayana’s Panipat district, was brought to Sir Ganga Ram hospital for treatment.
He was declared dead by doctors.
After being declared dead, his relatives, who took his body for the last rites in ambulance, saw that the man was sweating and informed the doctors. The doctors then confirmed that the man was still alive.
The relatives had accused the doctors of medical negligence.

The discharge certificate of the patient read "Patients' condition is critical & he needs further treatment. Patients' attendants want to discharge patient, hence, he is being discharged on Leave Against Medical Advice (LAMA)".
