Maharashtra Doctor Suspended After Video Shows Liquor Party in Post‑Mortem Room

A video that went viral on social media showed a doctor in Maharashtra hosting a liquor party inside a hospital’s post‑mortem room, a setting that is strictly reserved for autopsy work and medical examinations. The footage, which captured the doctor and several colleagues drinking and laughing, prompted immediate outrage from the public and the medical community.

Following the video’s release, the hospital’s administration suspended the doctor pending an internal investigation. Hospital officials stated that the incident violated hospital protocols and the professional conduct expected of medical staff.

Authorities have opened a formal inquiry, and the doctor faces potential disciplinary action under the Indian Medical Council regulations. The case has sparked a broader debate about workplace conduct and the enforcement of ethical standards in healthcare settings.
