Covid India: Rajkot hospital staff captured on video selling admission

Mumbai - Viral video shows employees allegedly demanding Rs 9,000.

A shocking video recording of a dubious deal between employees of the Rajkot civil hospital and relatives of a Covid-19 patient, seeking admission in the overcrowded facility has gone viral.

Even as hundreds of patients and their relatives waited outside the hospital for hours in blistering heat seeking admission, two employees – identified as Jagdish Solanki, 20, and Hitesh Mahida, 18, by the police – are heard negotiating a price for out-of-turn admission.

“I won’t settle for anything less than Rs9,000,” one of them is heard telling the patient’s relative.
