India is nowhere near this much of a ripoff. Even in a reputed private hospital like Narayana or Manipal the "treatment" that this child underwent would cost Rs.350-500 for consultation and probably another Rs.500 or so for registration if he is a first time patient. In India ripping off a patient is still the exception and not the norm, unlike in the USA.
