However, they charged a whooping 4 lakhs from Mallikarjun and Mamatha and administered IVF unscientifically for four months.
Subsequently, Mamatha developed many side effects after the treatment. However, they did not show any interest, instead told the couple that these were changes after the foetus starts developing in the womb.
