CHENNAI: SP Charan, son of late singer SP Balasubrahmanyam, said there was no truth in the rumours of Vice President Venkaiah Naidu intervening to clear SPB’s hospital bills.
In a press meet on Monday, held jointly with doctors at MGM Healthcare who treated the singer, Charan said that after his father’s death, he had asked the hospital about the balance that needed to be settled but hospital authorities refused to accept any pending payment.
“We had been settling the bill amount in weekly installments and one portion was covered by the insurance,” Charan said.
“After my father’s death, we had asked about pending payments and had gone with the money but the hospital staff said the management had asked them to refuse the money from us,” he added.

Charan said he had contacted Tamil Nadu Health Secretary J Radhakrishnan to clarify if the state government had offered to help financially.
“I was told that the Tamil Nadu government had offered to help in whatever way needed. I was not sure if this included financially too. So, a week ago, I spoke to the Health Secretary to clarify if any such statement was made. He was not sure and told me that he would clarify and get back to me,” Charan said.
Hospital authorities said that the state government had been in touch with them, enquiring about the singer’s health condition.
Charan said that the decision to move SPB’s mortal remains from his Nungambakkam residence to their farmhouse in Thamaraipakkam was made on the request of police officials. With some in the crowd even scaling the neighbouring house’s walls to get a last glimpse of the singer, there were heavy damages to property, he said.
Charan said he is in talks with local panchayat officials and others concerned for a memorial where the singer has been laid to rest.
He also asked that the family be given time and space to deal with and recover from their loss in private.
