The Kanpur CGHS (Central Government Health Scheme) department has found itself embroiled in a vexing controversy as serious allegations of misconduct have surfaced against RK Nagar CGHS doctor Dr. Sanath Kumar. The doctor is accused of surreptitiously recording videos of female staff and patients inside the department. Despite several complaints lodged by women employees, patients and even pensioners in the forum, no action has been taken against the doctor, raising concerns over malpractice and negligence.

The situation took a worrying turn on Wednesday when Dr. Sharat Kumar took a shocking step and made a video of a senior pharmacist. Immediately, the pharmacist approached Dr. Kiran Singh, head of Kapoor CGHS, seeking redressal of the alleged malpractice. The shocking thing is that instead of addressing the complaint, Dr. Kiran Singh decided to transfer the victim, thereby intensifying the furore over the incident.
