Chhindwara trainee doctor's controversial advice caught on video
Chhindwara: A trainee doctor from a district hospital in Chhindwara has landed in controversy after a video showing him casually advising young students to become drug dealers and make money before entering politics went viral on social media.
In the viral clip, the doctor, seen sitting on a chair beside another person, is heard questioning students about what they would achieve by becoming doctors, pointing out that doctors are not paid well in the country. He went on to suggest that they should become mafia members, sell drugs, and accumulate wealth before stepping into politics.
"What will you achieve by becoming a doctor? Our salaries are not coming. You should become a mafia, sell charas and ganja. Earn 30-40 crore rupees in 6 months, then enter politics. Money will follow you everywhere," the doctor said in a laughing tone, reports Dainik Bhaskar.

The incident has drawn both the media and public attention. While some defended the doctor, saying he was only speaking the harsh truth, others raised concerns about his ethics and professional conduct.
As per the latest media report by Dainik Bhaskar, the incident occurred when some students approached the doctor for guidance on medico-legal cases (MLCs). During the conversation, he allegedly dismissed the idea of a medical career and encouraged illegal activities and political ambitions instead.
The video shows students standing and listening as the doctor speaks, while someone from behind secretly records the conversation, which is now circulating widely on social media.
Speaking to Bhaskar, Inspector Ashish Kumar of Kotwali said, “It is inappropriate for someone in a responsible position to make such statements. The video has come to our notice, but no formal complaint has been filed yet regarding this matter."
Medical Dialogues previously reported about a ruckus that erupted at a private clinic in Uttar Pradesh's Kushinagar, where several men reportedly attacked one another and vandalised the property.
