CCTV footage from Tikamgarh’s Khargapur Community Health Centre shows BJP district committee Mahamandali Prashant Shukla riding an e‑scooter on a ramp meant for patients, sparking controversy.
CCTV footage released by the Khargapur Community Health Centre in Tikamgarh shows BJP district committee Mahamandali Prashant Shukla riding an e‑scooter on a ramp designed for patients. The video, which circulated online early this week, captures the leader gliding past waiting patients and caregivers.
The ramp, a narrow concrete pathway adjacent to the hospital’s entrance, is intended to provide easy access for patients with mobility issues. Observers noted that the e‑scooter’s presence disrupted the flow and raised concerns about safety and respect for the facility’s purpose.
Local residents and health workers have expressed discomfort, questioning why a public office holder would use a private vehicle on a patient‑dedicated pathway. The incident has prompted calls for an explanation from the BJP’s district office.
As of now, the party has not issued a formal statement, and the hospital administration has said it is reviewing the footage to determine appropriate measures. The incident has become a talking point on social media, with many demanding accountability and clearer guidelines for public officials’ conduct in civic spaces.
