Doctor allegedly demands bribe for death certificate; BJP MLA protests, submits resignation
Sagar: A BJP MLA from Madhya Pradesh's Sagar district, Brij Bihari Pateriya, has submitted his resignation to the assembly Speaker and staged a protest over allegations against a doctor who reportedly demanded a bribe from a family for issuing a death certificate for a patient who allegedly died from a snakebite.
Deori MLA Brij Bihari Pateriya staged a sit-in protest outside a police station on Thursday night and lifted the agitation, claiming that the BJP’s state leadership reprimanded him for making his grievances.
Sagar Superintendent of Police Vikas Sahwal said the MLA protested at Kesli police station from 11 pm to 12.30 am.
According to the PTI report, he stopped the agitation after assurance that his demands would be looked into, Sahwal said.
