Chhatarpur (MP), Apr 23 (PTI) A video has emerged showing a 108 emergency ambulance driver moving around with a young woman onboard and blaring its siren in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur district.
As the video went viral, the company operating the 108 emergency ambulance service sacked the driver, while district health authorities ordered a probe into the episode, an official said on Thursday.
Late on Tuesday evening, local residents chased and stopped a speeding ambulance with its siren blaring. Instead of a patient, a young woman was found inside the vehicle, the official said.
During questioning, driver Bhagat Singh Yadav tried to wriggle out of the situation by claiming the woman, a college student, was his sister, but was unable to provide her name, he said.
People gathered at the scene captured the entire incident on video, which quickly went viral on social media.
