Chief Minister,
Don't have staff?
Or are you not getting your salary?
Or is the money going to corruption commission?@DrMohanYadav51 pic.twitter.com/8eyp4bWrRV— Jitendra (Jitu) Patwari (@jitupatwari) October 11, 2026
According to District Hospital Superintendent Surendra Singh, during investigation the video was found to be about one and a half month old. He says that during interrogation of the employees, it was found that the sweeper had already cleaned and after this the woman herself had asked to clean again. The administration has also expressed the fear of tarnishing the image of the hospital through the video.
