Doctor Caught on Camera snorting drugs, assaulting woman; Probe ordered
A shocking video showing a doctor allegedly consuming drugs during duty hours at a private hospital in Jalandhar has gone viral on social media, prompting immediate action from the Punjab government. Another viral CCTV clip reportedly captures the same doctor allegedly assaulting a woman.
According to media reports, the first video appears to show the doctor using a credit or debit card to crush a white powdery substance and then sniffing it. The video, reportedly filmed secretly by a woman, captures the doctor initially protesting and attempting to stop her from recording. When she refused, he is seen snatching the phone, abruptly ending the recording. In the second viral CCTV footage, the same doctor is allegedly seen slapping a woman in front of bystanders.
These incidents reportedly took place in Dasuya, Hoshiarpur, though the doctor is said to be employed at a private hospital in Jalandhar, as per TrueCoopNews. Following the circulation of both videos, Punjab Health Minister Dr Balbir Singh ordered an immediate investigation into the matter.
Speaking to the media in Jalandhar on Thursday morning, Dr Balbir confirmed that he has directed officials to conduct a thorough inquiry with Civil Surgeon Dr Gurmeet Lal and Rama Mandi police leading the investigation.
