A man working as a driver at a hospital in Kanpur is alleged to examine patients and write prescriptions after a video of the incident circulates online. Multiple reports say the footage shows him sitting in an OPD room and interacting with patients while writing medication prescriptions.
According to The Hindu, the incident comes to light after a video surfaces on social media on September 16, 2026. The outlet reports that the behaviour triggers scrutiny and that a probe is ordered to determine what exactly happened, including whether the driver acted as a medical professional and whether any prescriptions were dispensed based on his instructions.
Other coverage similarly describes the video as depicting the driver examining patients and writing prescriptions. While the outlets focus on the same core allegation, they differ mainly in emphasis: one report highlights that an investigation has been ordered, while others primarily report the content of the viral clip and the claim that the driver carried out tasks typically done by doctors. The matter is handled as an alleged breach of professional and hospital protocol pending inquiry.
