Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda on Tuesday became victim of the hardship of demonetisation scheme which was implemented by his own government on November 8. When his brother DV Bhaskar passed away, the hospital where Gowda's brother was admitted refused to take old currency notes to settle the bills and refused to release the body till the bills were settled either through the new notes or through a cheque. Gowda finally paid the bill through cheque and took a written declaration from the hospital that they refused to accept old currency notes. DV Bhaskar was suffering from jaundice and was undertaking treatment at the Kasturba medical college in Mangaluru. Bhaskar passed away due to complications and Sadananda Gowda rushed to Mangaluru from Delhi on hearing that his brother had died.
