Embassy foots medical bill for Indian abandoned in Dubai

Bannubhai, who hails from Sultanpur in Gujarat, was found unconscious in front of the hospital on October 15. A Saudi physician saw the man, who was having symptoms of chronic diabetes and heart ailments, and provided him first aid.

It, however, remains a mystery who brought the man to the hospital and abandoned him in an unconscious condition.

The Embassy initially paid some amount from its welfare fund and gave an undertaking that it would pay the remaining amount of the bill to the hospital.

The man was not covered by health insurance and had no money either to return to his home country, media reports said.
