The matter came to light when a nursing staff member shot video of the incident. It went viral on social media websites.

Anita was rushed to Umaid Hospital in critical condition.  A doctor in the outdoors sent her to the operation theater for checkup. The doctor said that any delay in treatment could cost the life of either the baby or the woman.

When she was wheeled into the OT, gynecologist Dr Ashok Neniwal was attending another pregnant woman. Another doctor ML Tak asked a nursing staff member to check on the woman’s blood pressure.

It was when Dr Ashok and Dr ML Tak engaged in a verbal argument. They started shouting at each-other and hurled abuses. The nursing staff intervened, but they didn’t stop for several minutes. While they were quarreling, the two women were on the beds unattended.

The embarrassed hospital administration put Dr Neniwal on awaiting posting orders, while a recommendation to take action against Dr Tak was sent to the state’s personnel department.
