MP: Video of boy pushing ailing man on handcart goes viral; officials deny 'no ambulance' claim
Singrauli, Feb 12: A video of a boy pushing a handcart with an ailing man on it in Singrauli in Madhya Pradesh went viral on social media, though officials on Sunday said the allegation the ordeal was due to lack of an ambulance was incorrect.
The video had surfaced on Saturday with the caption that the ailing man's family did not get an ambulance, which evoked angry reactions from netizens.
District Collector Arun Kumar Parmar, who ordered a probe into the incident, in a statement issued during the day said the claim about the absence of an ambulance was incorrect.
The man, identified as Dayal Shah, was admitted in the district hospital on January 29 and leg injury, and returned some days later to his home, which is just 500 metres away, he said.
On Friday, the man felt pain again and went to get admitted in the hospital, Parmar said.
"We have checked the call record of the 108 ambulance service and did not find any call from the man or his kin. The family has also said they took the man to the hospital (on the handcart) on their own," the collector informed.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
