00:00 The son of a Roti Chanai seller who died of a heart attack in an emergency ward said his

00:06 father would still be alive if the hospital had not, for five hours, ignored repeated

00:12 pleas for help.

00:21 had to respect the queue as there were 17 people ahead of him.

00:31 in pain as they arrived at the hospital near midnight.

00:35 Satya said he pleaded with the nurses for help but was told the doctors were busy.
