Hyderabad cop pays man’s hospital bill, gets thank you letter from Himachal CM

It was a pleasant surprise for BL Laxminarayana Reddy, inspector of police at Kukatpally in Hyderabad, when he received a letter from Himachal Pradesh chief minister Jai Ram Thakur thanking him for his timely help to a resident of the hill state.

Thakur lauded Reddy for saving the life of Lalit Kumar, 30, from Lalyar village in Hamirpur district in Himachal Pradesh, by not only admitting him in the hospital after a medical emergency last week but also footing the entire bill.

“In this difficult situation, you not only helped in admitting him to the hospital but also paid an amount of Rs 20,000 for surgery from your own pocket. This act was a great gesture on your part and I appreciate your exemplary effort,” Thakur said in his appreciation letter.

“Your deed is an inspiration to all persons involved in the fight against Covid-19,” the chief minister said.
