According to the report, family members of the patient have alleged that Mishra, who hails from Sitapur district, threatened them with dire consequences when they confronted him.
This is how the incident unfolded
The patient, Suresh Chandra, experienced chest pain on Saturday after which he was rushed to a Lucknow hospital. As the ambulance left the district hospital where the doctors said the patient was having a heart attack, it was forced to stop as Mishra had parked his WagonR car on the road and left.
