He rode his motorbike right up to the Emergency ward of a hospital in Madhya Pradesh, his grandfather behind him was held up by another man, mirroring a scene from Aamir Khan blockbuster ‘3 Idiots’.

The incident, which was captured on a video, was reported from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel District Hospital in Satna, some 450 km from state capital Bhopal.

Late on Saturday night, the grandfather of a person named Neeraj Gupta fell ill and was brought to the Satna hospital on a bike.

In the video, the man can be seen stopping right in the middle of the emergency ward, with a security guard following him and video recording the act. The elderly man, who appears unconscious, is then helped off the bike by a hospital boy and another person.

The man is then seen reversing the bike and heading out, causing a mini flutter among other patients.

He then runs back into the hospital to check up on his grandfather, shows the video.

Upon learning about the incident, the doctor of the emergency ward reprimands the man.

Senior politician Sharad Pawar on Sunday said the Election Commission’s decision to allot the NCP name and symbol to Ajit Pawar-led group was “surprising” as the poll body has “snatched” the party from the hands of those who founded it and gave it to others.

Mr Pawar said the programme and ideology are important for the people while a symbol is useful for a limited period.

“I am confident that people will not support the Election Commission ruling against which we have approached the Supreme Court,” he said.

The Election Commission not only snatched our symbol but also handed over our party to others, he said.

“The EC snatched the party from the hands of those who founded and built it and gave it to others; such a thing never happened before,” said Mr Pawar, who founded the NCP in 1999.
