Earlier in a shocking development, in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19, BJP MLA Nitesh Rane, on Thursday, May 7, 2020, shared a video in which patients were seen being treated allegedly next to bodies wrapped in black body bags. Rane has claimed the video to be from Sion hospital. However, that is yet to be verified. Taking cognizance of the allegation, Mumbai Mayer Kishori Pednekar informed that the BMC has set up a committee to authenticate if the video is from the hospital mentioned or not. She also added that she also spoke to the dean of the hospital but has not been able to identify the ward. The BMC has further assured that the civic body will issue a report within 24 hours after the investigation.
The extremely graphic visuals in the video that surfaced on social media showcased a crowded ward where patients were lying connected to drip bags while body bags were laid out on adjacent beds as doctors in protective gear were seen going about their duties, attending patients. This shocked the netizens as this seemed like a regular affair to the onlookers. Mumbai which is the worst-hit metropolitan city in the country has reported 11,394 cases of COVID-19 so far. Therefore, a video in times like this has surged panic amongst the Mumbaikars as they continue to look for answers from the administration.
