Video clips and photographs were apparently shot by an attendant of a patient
After disturbing photographs of patients, including a woman, lying naked on the floor of a washroom and bed in a COVID-19 hospital in the tribal dominated Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district went viral, a high-level probe has been ordered.
Video clips and the photographs were apparently shot by an attendant of a patient at the dedicated COVID-19 hospital set up at Bankisole near the district headquarter town of Baripada.
The Mayurbhanj administration had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) last year. After a brief closure, following the first wave of pandemic, the hospital started functioning again when COVID-18 cases rose.
