her mother has come to light. Geeta Kapoor
(58) was admitted to SRV hospital in
Goregaon on April 21, by her son Raja to get
her treated for her falling blood pressure.
Little did Geeta know that a devious plan by
her son was in play. At the hospital, when
asked to pay a deposit, Raja went out under
the pretext of looking for an ATM, only to
never return. The doctors decided to treat
Geeta, as her condition was fragile. All the
consecutive attempts of trying to get Raja,
or Geeta's daughter Pooja to the hospital
failed. Geeta since then had been staying at
the hospital, and the bill reached a hefty
amount of Rs 1.5 lakhs for her treatment.
In an emotional interview with TV9 Geeta
shared her ordeal. Talking about her life she
said that she was a junior artist and has
worked in films like Pakeezah. She narrated
how she has been in the hospital for a over
a month now, and no one from his family
has come forward to get her discharged
from there.
You'd wish the story ended right there, but
there is more to it. Geeta told Mid-Day that
Rajat used to beat her up. "He used to beat
me up as I did not approve of his
philandering ways. He would give me food
once in four days, and sometimes, even lock
me up for several days. I was not ready to
go to an old-age home, that's why, he
planned all this. He deliberately kept me
hungry and I fell ill. Then, he got me
admitted and fled,
As per a report carried by Jagran, Ramesh
Taurani and Ashoke Pandit have come
forward to pay the bills that came close to
Rs 1.5 lakhs, and Geeta has been discharged.
When we contacted Mr Taurani, he said that
he did not know Geeta personally, but read
the news, and hence decided to come
forward to help her.
Hospital has lodged a complaint with the
police, who are now trying to track down
Geeta's family. Reportedly, Raja moved out
for their flat as soon as he admitted Geeta
into the hospital, indicating that the plan
had been in motion for months now.
