Overview
- A video showing Dr Swapna Misra arriving as a pillion on a motorcycle inside Fortis Hospital Mohali during the hospital’s 25th anniversary celebrations has been widely shared online.
- Fortis Mohali issued a statement saying the event was a staff-focused programme held when the OPD wing was closed and that routine patient care was not disrupted.
- The hospital removed the original post from its main social account but footage continues to circulate on X and a separate Facebook post still shows parts of the motorcycle entry.
- Reactions online split between viewers who called the stunt inappropriate and risky for a healthcare setting and supporters who said it was a planned, controlled celebration.
- The episode has drawn comparisons to a famous hospital scene from the film 3 Idiots and could prompt hospitals to re-examine event rules and content controls for staff functions.
