The incident was reported from Cuttack December 21 and has since been the talk of the town.
Police had arrested Sriram Kanar, a resident of Kandhamal district, on charges of carrying out ganja trade.
He filed a bail application before the Odisha High Court July 13, 2020.
Meanwhile, with an intention to make it easier for her husband to get bail, his wife Manasi Kanar concocted a plan. She had obtained an outdoor ticket from the ticket counter of SCB Medical College and Hospital October 9.
On this ticket, associate professor Dr S K Bhol had prescribed medicines for multiple diseases and advised bed rest from October 9, 2020 to May 8, 2021 citing COVID-19 as the reason.
