When Md Ismail was being taken to a hospital, little did he realise he would be dumped outside a ward in a state-run facility by his own wife because he is HIV positive.
After volunteers shifted him to a centre run for such patients, he lay there shocked for days after realising his family, employers and relatives had all turned their backs on him.
While Ismail is currently undergoing treatment, not-solucky Sarita died on the road unattended near the KPHB Metro station few weeks back.
