"Why a case under section 302 of IPC (punishment for murder) should not be filed against the state government for deaths due to demonetisation?" asked the Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra Legislative Assembly.
He alleged that an infant girl died in Pune as a private hospital denied her treatment as her parents could not pay entire fees in new currency.
The Congress leader also claimed that a retired employee of a nationalised bank committed suicide at Saoner in Nagpur district as he reportedly suffered heavy loss in his business in the wake of demonetisation.
