Overview

  • The clip, recorded Saturday, shows an elderly man wheeling his semi-conscious wife out of Bareilly district hospital on a handcart.
  • Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak ordered an inquiry and told the health directorate to act against anyone found guilty, and a three-member team began work as the on-duty guard was removed.
  • District Magistrate Avinash Singh set up a separate three-member probe led by two additional district magistrates and the chief medical officer, with a report due in three days.
