The person who posted the video on 'X' said "In Rae Bareli AIIMS, bouncers beat a patient with shoes, kicks and punches. Whatever may be the reason, this hooliganism is completely wrong."

In response to the widespread condemnation, the Raebareli Police swiftly reacted, directing the Inspector in charge of the Bhadokhar police station to conduct a thorough investigation and initiate appropriate legal action. 

Bhadokhar police station in-charge Shivakant Pandey told Amarujala "No one has filed any formal complaint in the matter. If a complaint is received, a case will be registered. It is wrong to beat the patient with shoes like this."

Meanwhile, the Deputy Medical Superintendent of AIIMS, Dr Suyash Singh, has condemned the violence and said that appropriate measures will be taken to address the matter.
