In a tragic incident on Wednesday night, a patient’s husband abandoned his three children and left the Government General Hospital (GGH) in Vijayawada when he learnt she passed away.
According to Machavaram police, a woman was admitted in the hospital by her husband around 10.30 p.m. She was a mother of three children.
