Row Over Jharkhand Minister's Son 'Inspecting' Hospital, 'Making Reel'

A political row erupted in Jharkhand on Sunday after a video of Health Minister and Congress leader Irfan Ansari's son's visit to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi for a purported inspection surfaced on social media. 

The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took a swipe at Mr Ansari's son, Krish Ansari, over a "reel" of the alleged inspection on Saturday, even as the minister said the 19-year-old was helping an ailing woman get admitted.

A 19-second video of Mr Krish shows him entering a ward hospital and asking the patients if they are facing any sort of discomfort. His aides are also seen asking the same. The circulated clip is played against the backdrop of a Punjabi song.
