- India
A peon at a health facility in Maharashtra's Palghar district was placed under suspension after he tried to give a child brought there for treatment an injection, an official said on Monday.
The child's parents had objected to the peon, who was allegedly drunk, trying to administer the injection in place of a doctor or nurse, he said.
''A peon at the Talasari primary health centre has been suspended for the incident that took place on Saturday. A doctor handled the situation by giving the child an injection,'' District Health Officer Dr Dayanand Suryavanshi said.
Zilla Parishad president Prakash Nikam condemned the episode, a video of which went viral on social media, and warned staff against a repeat of such incidents.
