The shocking incident reportedly took place on Monday night at around 10:30 pm at Saadat Hospital when the doctor allegedly entered Ward 20 in an intoxicated condition, staggering and muttering.
Although hospital staff refused to intervene, they brought a wheelchair in the direction of the Principal Medical Officer (PMO), placed the doctor on it, and escorted him out of the ward before he was taken home.

According to the eyewitnesses, the doctor was staggering and muttering as he entered the ward. Soon after, he allegedly removed his pants and began urinating in front of male and female patients present in the ward. Besides male and female patients, attendants were also present in the ward.
The doctor's alleged act made the patients uncomfortable and embarrassed. After the act, the doctor reportedly lost balance, stumbled, and fell on the floor of the ward. When patients tried to stop him and questioned his behaviour, he allegedly continued muttering something and did not respond properly. He remained lying on the floor for some time.
The patients asked the ward staff to move him to another place, but the staff kept watching the doctor's actions. The information reached the Principal Medical Officer (PMO), Dr Hanuman Bairwa, and after his intervention, the doctor was put in a wheelchair and taken home.
Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, PMO Dr Bairwa said, "He had taken leave yesterday, Monday, to go to Jaipur, but he returned yesterday itself. When I reached the ward upon receiving the information, he was sitting quietly in a wheelchair. He was in an intoxicated state. Whatever he does on his day off, or how he lives his personal life, is his private matter. But coming to the hospital after drinking alcohol is wrong. He is still on leave today. He hasn't had a medical examination yet. But from now on, the day he exhibits such behaviour, we will take action. We will take steps."
