Officials said Chedi Yadav of Gaura village had been injured two days ago and his family had been in the surgical ward. Yadav was being attended by his daughter Bindu Yadav and her six-year-old son was also with her. Bindu told reporters that the ward boy demanded Rs 30 each time for taking the stretcher to the ward for the dressing of her father.

"Hospital staff was asking for Rs 30 every time for taking the stretcher to the ward for the dressing of my father and when I refused to give him the money, he refused to push the stretcher, so I had to drag it with the help of my son Shivam," she said.

Bindu is not aware that while she was pushing the stretcher, someone had recorded it on video and posted it on social media.

Kishore said, "The viral video is two-days-old and prima facie, the ward boy has been found to be the culprit. He has been removed by the chief medical officer and a probe in on in the matter. We will ensure that such incidents do not take place again."
