A police officer has been suspended following reports that those injured in accidents were allegedly sent to a private hospital instead of government ones in Haryana's Karnal district, officials said today. The action was taken after a video went viral on social media, showing an ambulance of a private hospital parked on the premises of police post located on Karnal-Indri state highway.
Reports say nexus between police and the private hospital
Ramba police post in-charge, Jagbir Singh, has been placed under suspension, police said. There were reports that there was allegedly a nexus between police and the private hospital for ferrying patients injured in accidents on the highway to a particular private hospital for treatment. "An inquiry has been marked in this regard," Karnal Superintendent of Police, Surinder Singh Bhoria, said.
