Khargone: A woman was allegedly dragged by a guard outside the premises of the Khargone District Hospital in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday.
A photograph of the incident went viral on social media after being published in a newspaper.
However, days after the incident, the hospital administration had refuted claims of the guard dragging the woman out of the hospital.
Dr Divyesh Verma, Civil Surgeon, on Saturday said that the incident took place on February 18 when the woman reached the district hospital and hurled stones at the patients and staff.
He clarified that the guard did not use force and the woman in question was 'mentally unstable'.
"The allegation is totally false. This woman in question was mentally unstable. Someone had left her in front of Tevar Clinic. After which, the woman started pelting stones and abusing the staff members and doctors," Verma said.
