Bengaluru's Mehboob Basha declared dead after wife allegedly used ID

Authorities probe hospital verification lapses

Turns out, the hospital and civic officials didn't catch that Basha's wife allegedly used his details to admit another patient, who later passed away.
She even signed paperwork as his spouse and claimed the body, and the documents were accepted without sufficient verification.
Now, authorities are investigating how such a big mix-up slipped through and whether there was any negligence or collusion behind it.
