Delhi Doctor Investigated for Absenteeism, Salary in Canada
Imagine a doctor in Delhi who was also making movies in Canada!
For about three years, she was getting paid by the hospital but wasn't really working there.
The government found out and is now asking why she was away for so long and still getting paid.
They're checking her records and visits to India.
The hospital is also preparing a report.
This could cause problems for the doctor, maybe even making her pay back some money.
She was removed from her position as head of department.
Dr. Manju Subberwal, a Delhi hospital doctor, allegedly drew a salary while absent for three years.
She is reportedly a filmmaker based in Canada.
The Union Health Ministry issued a notice regarding her unauthorized absence.
An employee complaint triggered an investigation into Subberwal's absence and salary.
The hospital has removed her from her position and prepared a chargesheet.
