“A cop helped us as he took my son inside the health facility. There are no doctors and staff here.
“What’s the use of ayushman card then. Should we make ayushman cards to come and die in GMC, Kathua.
“People are getting killed. We didn’t get any treatment in GMC Kathua. We appeal to people to avoid coming here.

“They just referred us to Kathua. What is the usage of such medical facilities”, allegedly asked Mr Ashok Kumar, father of the deceased.
