69-Year-Old Man Dies Outside Bandra Station Due to Ambulance Refusal

The Incident:
A 69-year-old man collapsed outside Bandra railway station in Mumbai, struggling to breathe. Passersby immediately sought medical help and called an ambulance. Shockingly, the ambulance driver refused to take the patient to the hospital, citing policy restrictions and personal concerns. The man died on the spot before any medical assistance could reach him.
