The incident happened at the community health centre in the district’s Baldeo town. The video clearly shows a health worker collecting samples from Dr Rajkumar Saraswat. In the video, the doctor can be heard admitting that he is giving his own samples for conducting COVID-19 test in order to match the sampling target prescribed by the CMO. Later, a person advises him to not give so many samples of his own as it may create trouble for him. As per the reports,the samples were later sent for testing with fake names.
