Chandigarh: Taking cognisance of a viral video reportedly showing a doctor couple from the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, allegedly thrashing their 13-year-old adopted daughter, the hospital authorities have confirmed receiving a complaint regarding the incident.
In the purported video, a man could be seen hitting the girl with some object. The girl could be heard shouting and seen trying to run, but the man held her and thrashed her, news agency PTI reported.
