Karnataka Doctor Fired Over Controversial Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Hospital Operating Theater

A doctor working on a contract basis at a government hospital in Chitradurga district, Karnataka, faced termination after participating in a pre-wedding photoshoot inside the hospital’s operation theatre. The incident, captured on video and widely circulated on social media, triggered public outrage and prompted swift action from the Karnataka government.

In the footage, Dr. Abhishek, identified by authorities, is seen “performing” surgery on a patient while his fiancee assists him in a staged procedure. The couple is surrounded by professional lighting equipment, and laughter from camerapersons and technicians accompanies the controversial scene. The photoshoot appears to have a medical theme, with the video ending as the “patient” sits up and laughs after the mock surgery.

In a tweet, the minister stated, “A doctor who conducted a pre-wedding shoot in the operation theater of Bharamasagar Government Hospital in Chitradurga has been dismissed from service. Government hospitals exist for the health care of people and not for personal work. I cannot tolerate such indiscipline from doctors.”

He further emphasized the need for all contract employees, including doctors and staff in the health department, to fulfill their duties by government service rules. He instructed all personnel to be vigilant to prevent similar incidents in the future, stressing that government hospital facilities are provided for the healthcare of the general public.
