Paras Hospital in Agra sealed after "mock drill" video went viral

 

On Tuesday Night, The Uttar Pradesh Administration sealed Agra's Paras Hospital after it's owner was allegedly caught on a video ordering the facility to cut of oxygen supply for five minutes in a "mock drill" in April.

The owner was later identified as Dr Arinjay Jain has been booked under the Epidemic Diseases Act and Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

In the video Jain was heard saying that the mock drill was done to April 26 to check who would survive if the hospital's oxygen supply ran out. At one point in the video he said that 22 patients had "turned blue" and gasped for breath.

He has denied any such mock drill at the hospital.  "I used the phrase by mistake or you could say in innocence" claimed Jain. "We checked the patients individually to see the minimum level of oxygen level at which they could be kept. The supply was not cut off" added Jain.

Yesterday night another video also went viral in which a hospital staff was seen getting beat down by local citizens and family members of patients after no arrangements were made by the hospital to shift them.
