MP Doctor angrily snaps at home guard, video goes viral

Chhatarpur: After a video of a government doctor showing him purportedly misbehaving with the home guard at a district hospital in Chhatarpur went viral on social media, the Madhya Pradesh government transferred the doctor on Friday.

In the video, the doctor was purportedly misbehaving with the jawan who had gone with an injured patient to the hospital and can be seen asking the guard to stay within his limits.

"I am not afraid of the collector. If you threaten me, I will make you dance to my tunes. First of all, don't come to the hospital chewing gutka and don't forget your limits," said the doctor in the video, PTI reports.

The video also shows the doctor throwing away the documents belonging to an injured patient towards the home guard and saying “Do kaudi ka guard, mujhse behes kar raha." Following this, he asked the jawan and the patient to get out.

The incident took place on February 12 when the home guard jawan went to the hospital to get the CT scan and X-ray of a patient who was injured in a road accident. The patient was transferred to the district hospital after first aid from Barigarh Hospital.

The injured patient was known to the home guard stationed at Jujharnagar police station, leading to a recommendation being made on his behalf. However, the doctor became upset by this gesture, FPJ reports.

In response to the jawan making the request, the doctor said, “You don’t make requests, you use sticks (Nivedan nahi danda karte ho tum). You who are sold for Rs 2,000, do not talk nonsense to me.”

After its video surfaced, state Public Health and Medical Education Minister Rajendra Shukla ordered the removal of Dr *** from the Chhatarpur district hospital, saying this kind of behaviour would not be tolerated.

Taking serious cognisance of the matter, the health minister on Friday ordered the transfer of the doctor from his post.

"This kind of behaviour in public life is intolerable. He has been removed from his post and the matter will be investigated further," he told reporters.
