NEW DELHI: In a bizarre incident, a doctor in Uttar Pradesh's Jalaun made a five-year-old smoke a cigarette as a part of treatment for cold, an official informed on Wednesday.
The incident was captured in a video which showed the doctor asking the child to put a cigarette to his mouth. He then lit up the cigarette up and asked the boy many times to take a drag.
Suresh Chandra, who was serving at the Central Health Centre in Kuthaund, has been transferred, and an investigation has been initiated against him, according to chief medical officer Narendra Dev Sharma.
"This kind of incident will not be tolerated in the district. We have issued strict instructions to prevent such occurrences in the future," Sharma said.
Sharma ordered an investigation into the matter on March 28, noting that the incident allegedly took place earlier that month. As part of the action taken, the doctor involved was transferred to the district headquarters.
