"Besides, a number of other anomalies were also found. The team found nine patients undergoing treatment at the nursing home," said Dr GK Bajpai.
Dr Bajpai said that when he reached at the Parag Nursing home he found Dr Sudhir was working at the nursing home. Dr Sudhir had done a patient's surgery at the nursing home. Dr Bajpai informed TOI,"The staff of the nursing home told the team that Dr Sudhir is a surgeon at RML hospital. We verified the claim by making a call on the contact number of Dr Sudhir. Since private practice by government doctors is unlawful, a show cause notice should be issued to Dr Sudhir,"
