Hyderabad: After accusing Sonu Sood of taking undue credit, the official Twitter account of the Collector and District Magistrate of Ganjam, Odisha, on Monday heaped praise on the actor for coming forward and helping those who are suffering due to COVID.
It all began when Ganjam DM on Monday responded to a tweet by Sonu where he claimed he has arranged for a bed at Ganjam City Hospital in Brahmapur for a patient.
"We don't received any communication from @SoodFoundation or @SonuSood. Requested patient is in Home isolation and stable. No bed issues @BrahmapurCorp is monitoring it. @CMO_Odisha," the official Twitter account of the Collector and District Magistrate of Ganjam, tweeted on Monday tagging the Twitter handle of the Office of the Chief Minister of Odisha.

The tweet in response to which Sonu wrote this, has been deleted. However, reacting to the District Magistrate's tweet on Monday, Sonu shared screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation saying he has arranged for the bed because the patient's family approached him for help.

The actor tested COVID positive a while back, but was back to helping people as soon as he recovered from the virus.
Sonu was appointed brand ambassador of Punjab's COVID vaccination programme by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in April. Last year, during lockdown, he helped thousands of migrants reach home safely. He also provided e-rickshaws to the unemployed.
