Watch | Kota man takes injured son to hospital's 3rd floor on e-scooter because...

In a bizarre scene, a Rajashan lawyer carried his 15-year-old son with an injured leg to the orthopaedic ward of a government hospital on his e-scooter as there were no wheelchairs around, according to reports.

In a video that has now gone viral on social media, the man, identified as Manoj Jain is seen riding the two-wheeler with his son riding pillon.

Dressed in a black coat, Jain not just entered the building but took escalator to get to the third floor where the orthopaedic ward situated.

Manoj Jain said upon reaching the hospital, he asked for a wheelchair from staffers Mukesh and Sukhlal but they said it was not available. He claimed that he got permission from the duo to take his scooter to the ward.

However, on their way back, the father-son duo was stopped by ward in-charge Devkinandan who took away the scooter's key. The advocate then created a ruckus against the alleged mismanagement of the hospital administration and the unavailability of wheelchairs.

Several others too demanded that they should also be allowed to bring their loved ones to the ward on a two-wheeler leading to a commotion.

As tempers flared, the hospital check post police rushed to the spot and calmed things down.

Meanwhile, Devkinandan admitted that there is a shortage of wheelchairs at the ward which is visited by around 3,000 patients daily and assured that the issue would be resolved soon.

Hospital deputy superintendent Karnesh Goyal, who also reached the spot, said the supply of wheelchairs from the government is awaited and sought donations from people to buy wheelchairs.
