Video of drunken dance in Baran District hospital goes viral, Two hospital staff suspended
Kota: Two government hospital staff members were suspended on Tuesday after a video showing one dancing in an inebriated state and another being a mute spectator on Baran district hospital premises went viral on social media. The hospital administration has constituted a three-member panel to probe the matter.
Two state government employees were suspended on Tuesday after a video showing one dancing on hospital premises in an inebriated state and the other looking on went viral on social media, officials said.
A contractual employee, who played the Hindi song glorifying alcohol on which the employee was dancing, has been sacked, they said.
Ramavatar Verma, a lineman of Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JVVNL), was deployed at a 'Mahangai Rahat Camp' on the premises of Baran district hospital, officials said.
He reached the camp in a drunken state on Monday and asked computer operator Vishal Vaishnav, a contractual employee, to play a "song on alcohol". As he danced, camp in-charge Ramdayal Meghwal remained a mute spectator, officials said.
Meghwal was suspended for failing to stop Verma, they added.
Someone in the camp shot a video of the incident and circulated it on social media. While the lineman and camp in charge were suspended, the contractual employee was removed, ADM of Baran, Satyanarayan Aameta, said.
Besides, a joint probe committee was asked to probe the incident and submit a report within three days, he added.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that in a shocking incident, an on-duty government doctor collapsed in the operation theatre moments before performing multiple tubectomy surgeries. An inquiry into the case was ordered after it was found that the latter was allegedly under the influence of alcohol during duty hours. The doctor is a gynaecologist who was deputed to Karnataka’s Kalasa Taluk hospital to conduct a tubectomy camp and was found sleeping in the operation theatre from the morning of the day of surgery.
