Doctor faces action for using Operation Sindoor for promotion
RAIPUR : In an alleged attempt to promote his professional services, a doctor in Chhattisgarh used a line -- blood and water cannot flow together from PM Narendra Modis speech in the wake of Operation Sindoor. After a social media storm, the Bhilaibased urologist was suspended on disciplinary ground. Dr Shivendra Singh Tiwary, associate professor general surgery in Shri Shankaracharya Institute of Medical Sciences, posted a promotional message for his medical store on social media, cleverly tying in PM Modis quote made in the wake of Operation Sindoor. A high power-committee has been constituted by the administration to probe into the matter and the doctor has been suspended for 15 days by the institute, hospital officials said. The doctor used the very line of the PM on his advertised board where he further added: So if you see blood in your urine, immediately consult a urologist. It may be serious. The ad is an apparent effort to promote urological health. Experts said the doctors may use social media platforms for extending professional care of patients but using the same tool for self-promotion with a statement of the PM is unjustified. The Dean of the institute has issued an official order: your act of advertising yourself which has been getting viral on social media is unwarranted and disgraceful on your part being a responsible medical personnel. The management has taken a serious view of the act of yours. you are hereby suspended with immediate effect for 15 days.
RAIPUR: A Bhilai-based urologist has landed in hot water after attempting to promote his professional services by using a line from a speech by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the wake of Operation Sindoor. The act went viral on social media following which Dr Shivendra Singh Tiwari, associate professor general surgery in Shri Shankaracharya Institute of Medical Sciences, was suspended for 15 days on disciplinary grounds. A high-power committee has been constituted by the administration to probe into the matter. The urologist borrowed the line Blood and water cant flow together, which PM Modi had used to hint that there would be no reversal in the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. The treaty was put on hold after the April 22 terror attack in Kashmirs Pahalgam. India subsequently carried out retaliatory strikes targeting terror camps located in PoK and Pakistan. The doctor further added, So if you see blood in your urine, immediately consult a urologist. It may be serious. Medical experts said that doctors may use social media platforms to extend professional care to patients and serve larger public health causes but using the same tool for self-promotion is unjustified. Meanwhile, the dean of the institute has issued an official order that stated, Your act of advertising yourself which has been getting viral on WhatsApp, social media is unwarranted and disgraceful on your part being a responsible medical personnel. The management has therefore taken a very serious view of above act of yours. You are hereby suspended with immediate effect for a period of 15 days. Dr Tiwari was not available for comment.

ED raids Chhattisgarh ex-CM Bhupesh Baghel's son Chaitanya Baghel, others in liquor 'scam' case
RAIPUR: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday raided the premises of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel as part of a money laundering investigation involving his son in the alleged liquor scam case, official sources reported. The ED searched the premises of Bhupesh Baghel's son, Chaitanya Baghel, in Bhilai (Durg district), along with properties linked to Laxmi Narayan Bansal, alias Pappu Bansal, an alleged close associate of Chaitanya, and other individuals connected to the case. Sources stated that the raids were being conducted under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Since Chaitanya Baghel shares his Bhilai accommodation with his father, the ED included these premises in their searches. Chaitanya is suspected to have been the ecipient of the proceeds from the alleged liquor scam, according to the sources. Around 14 to 15 premises are being raided across the state in connection with the investigation. The Enforcement Directorate had earlier stated that the Chhattisgarh liquor scam caused a massive loss to the state exchequer, with over Rs 2,100 crore in proceeds from the crime filling the pockets of the beneficiaries involved in the liquor syndicate.

SC grants bail to Chhattisgarh Congress MLA accused of provoking violence at collectorate premises
RAIPUR: The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to Congress MLA from Bhilai Devendra Yadav, sent to jail in connection with arson and violence at Baloda Bazar collectorate premises on June 10 last year. Yadav was arrested by Chhattisgarh police on August 17, 2024, from his residence in Bhilai. He was accused of provoking the protestors and allegedly incited them leading to vandalism. He is expected to be released from the Raipur Central Jail by Friday evening. Following the decision of the Apex Court, former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Bhagel took to X-handle alleging that the Congress leader Yadav was jailed in a government conspiracy case. Baghel claimed it would be proved soon that the government had wrongly kept Yadav in jail for months. Due to incompetent government, the incident of arson at the offices of collector and superintendent of police in Baloda Bazar happened. Vishnu Deo Sai government and the home minister are responsible for it, Baghel stated. . . . . @Devendra_1925 Bhupesh Baghel (@bhupeshbaghel) February 20, 2025 However, BJP countered that Yadav has only got a bail but he has not been exonerated from the case. The Congress leader got bail only on technical grounds. The Satnami community and the people of the state will not forgive those accused involved in the conspiracy behind the violence in Baloda Bazar collectorate. Actually the entire Congress is on bail, said Anurag Agrawal, BJP spokesperson. Thousands of Satnami caste protestors agitated over desecration of their place of worship 'Jaitkhamb' near Girodhpuri turned violent, leading to setting the collectorate building and hundreds of vehicles in the premises on fire besides causing extensive damage to public property on June 10. As many as 186 accused involved in Baloda Bazar violence were then arrested. Later some got bail. Yadav, a two-time Congress MLA, also contested Lok Sabha polls last year from the Bilaspur seat.
