A wave of exceptionally hot weather has blasted parts of South and Southeast Asia this week
His relatives told the local NDTV news network that hospital staff ignored their requests that Ghanshyam, who goes by one name, be given a pillow.
"When we reached the hospital, we saw his leg being used as a headrest," Janaki Prasad, a relative, told NDTV.
"I repeatedly asked the doctors to intervene but they refused," Prasad added, saying Ghanshyam's relatives eventually bought a pillow from a local market.
Kaushik said the patient was given "immediate" medical attention and one of his relatives placed the leg under his head, the Press Trust of India reported.
"The doctor looked for something to raise his head. The patient's attendant used the leg," she told PTI.
India's state-run hospitals are often ill-equipped, severely underfunded and stretched to breaking point. Just a handful of specialists are available to treat millions.
Uttar Pradesh, which is home to 200 million people, is one of India's poorest states, and long waits are common for even minor treatments.
Medical negligence is not uncommon either.
Last year, dozens of children died in a single week at a government hospital in Uttar Pradesh that suffered oxygen shortages. And an unlicensed doctor was arrested last month for allegedly infecting at least 46 people with HIV by re-using a syringe.
