A video allegedly showing an electric scooter being ridden through a corridor of a government hospital in Rajasthan's Barmer district has surfaced on social media, prompting authorities to file a police complaint, officials said on Tuesday.

The footage, reportedly recorded in the old building of Barmer Medical College Hospital, captures an Ola electric scooter moving through a gallery lined with wards on both sides, they said.

The speedometer of the vehicle is visible, and music can be heard playing in the background. However, the individual who filmed the video is not seen, officials added.

Principal Medical Officer B.L. Mansuria stated that the incident came to light on Tuesday, after which a complaint was lodged with the police.

He said the CCTV footage of the past few days was checked, but the incident was not captured. It appears that the video was recorded several days ago.

Mansuria further said that security guards are deployed at the hospital, and an inquiry is underway to determine how the vehicle entered the gallery.
