Ambulance Staffer Accused of Forcing Patient’s Family to Clean Vehicle
Officials say that 32-year-old Rahul Barman was badly injured in a road accident at Karela village and the 108 ambulance brought him to the district hospital. He was referred to Jabalpur for further treatment after preliminary treatment. But things took a turn during this period when the ambulance staffer, named Mohit, allegedly treated the victim’s family with inhumanity.
In the clip, a woman, believed to be the patient’s wife Pramila Barman, is cleaning the ambulance while the staffer watches.

Family Claims Ambulance Staff Demanded Money
These visuals have raised grave concerns regarding the efficiency of the emergency medical services, with the question being asked if life-saving services have become a burden for the families of the patients.
After viewing the video footage, Dr Yashwant Verma, the Civil Surgeon at Katni District Hospital, stated that a notice has been sent to the in-charge of 108 services and the ambulance driver, who will have to respond within a week or face disciplinary action. This is not the first time that the ambulance services in Madhya Pradesh have faced allegations of negligence.
