Being absent from duty and posting comments on social media, which tarnished image of state government’s welfare schemes, proved costly to Dr Anand Rai, the medical officer at Hukumchand Hospital in Indore.
Dr Rai has been dismissed under MP Civil Services Act, according to health department order. He shot to limelight after highlighting Vypam scam and alleged unethical trial of medical drugs.
As per order, Dr Rai was to inspect four health care facilities – civil dispensary (Residency, Indore), Hukumchand Hospital ( Indore), PC Sethi Hospital (Indore) and civil dispensary (Vrindavan Colony, Indore) - on March 29 and March 30, 2022. He did not go but his attendance was marked in attendance register.
