A government doctor from Madhya Pradesh has been booked for impersonation after he sent the sample of his wife for Coronavirus test in the name of their domestic help.

The doctor had gone to Uttar Pradesh to attend a wedding in the last week of June. When he returned, his wife developed COVID-19 symptoms and he sent her sample for testing. However, instead of giving his wife’s name, he sent the sample in the name of the woman who worked at his home as well as at the health centre where he was posted, reports Indian Express.
