UP Doctor Booked and Suspended for Remarks About Chief Minister Adityanath
A doctor in Uttar Pradesh, India, is in trouble for something he said.
He is accused of making bad comments about the state's chief minister and the government.
This happened during a protest outside his hospital where people were unhappy about the hospital's conditions.
A video of the conversation went viral, and a political leader filed a complaint.
The doctor was then arrested and suspended from his job.
He says he was taken out of context and that he didn't use abusive language.
He plans to fight the charges and his suspension in court.
An acting chief medical superintendent in Uttar Pradesh, Bhaskar Prasad, has been booked and suspended.
The action follows a viral video where Prasad allegedly made objectionable remarks about Chief Minister Adityanath and the state government.
The remarks were reportedly made during a conversation with Aam Aadmi Party protesters demonstrating against hospital conditions.
A Bharatiya Janata Party leader filed an FIR against Prasad for disparaging comments and other alleged service rule violations.
Prasad denies using abusive language, claims he was "framed," and plans to seek legal relief.
