Doctors Accused of Fake Attendance in Bhopal
Two doctors in Bhopal were caught doing something wrong.
They used an app called Saarthak to mark their attendance, but they did it from far away.
One doctor, Dr Sanjeev Singh, marked his attendance from about 600 kilometres away, even though he usually marked it from just 11 kilometres away.
Another doctor, Dr Minhaj, used different faces in his attendance, which means he might have tampered with the app.
The boss, Dr Manish Sharma, found out and gave them a warning notice.
