A social media post has gone viral, alleging that a Muslim doctor in Prayagraj recorded videos of Hindu Women during childbirth. The claim was made by a Delhi-based criminal lawyer, Kalpana Srivastava, who accused the doctor of filming Hindu pregnant women.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Srivastava wrote, “There is a Muslim doctor in Prayagraj who makes videos of Hindu pregnant women during their deliveries.... But why doesn't she make videos of women from the Muslim community?
She also alleged that several users were labelling her a liar and asking her for evidence of the incident. “Many people are saying that the video should be tweeted, and many fools are calling me a liar, so should the video be tweeted now...?” The post has sparked widespread outrage online.

The district chief medical officer, Dr Manoj Kumar, told The Times of India, "Delivery is a highly confidential and sensitive process. The decision to record and upload the video without consent is completely inappropriate. We have launched an inquiry, and the hospital has been ordered to remove the video immediately. Necessary steps will be taken based on the investigation findings. TOI cited that efforts to get comments from the hospital management were unsuccessful.
