Dehradun: A video showing members of RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) in PPE kits purportedly inside the COVID ward of Doon Medical College Hospital here and offering juice to patients has gone viral on social media.
Principal of Doon Medical College Ashutosh Sayana said the ABVP had taken permission to help the hospital administration in maintaining order but it had not been allowed to enter the COVID ward.

It will be investigated how the ABVP members entered the ward, he said.
Soon after the matter came to light, medical superintendent of the hospital K C Pant banned the entry of ABVP workers into the premises.
