Satna Govt doctor caught on camera allegedly demanding bribe for medical certificate - Video

A medical officer at Satna District Hospital in Madhya Pradesh has come under scrutiny after a video showing him allegedly demanding Rs 500 from a student in exchange for issuing a medical certificate went viral on social media.

In the purported video shared by an autopsy surgeon on 'X' (formerly Twitter), the student is seen approaching the doctor, who is seated on a chair, while the student stands before him. The student is heard asking, “Kyun nahi karenge, sir?” (Why won’t you do it, sir?), to which the doctor replies, “Nahi karunga” (I won’t do it).

The student repeatedly asks the doctor to explain why he is refusing to issue the certificate. The doctor responds, “My wish, I won't do it now. Get out from here, get out.” Seconds later, the doctor is heard shouting at the student. In response, the student says, “Sir, don't shout at me. This is a government hospital. Why should I pay Rs 500? I am talking to you respectfully. Do not scream at me.”
