Netizens called her out for insensitive questions at this critical hour and lashing out at doctors in a bid to extract answers for the worsening situation, instead of the responsible politicians and ministers.
Here’s how the Twitter users reacted on anchor-
Who let this lady enter the ICU of a hospital with camera and mic?
She should have barged in to the concerned minister or CM’s office to question them about the poor condition of public health facilities.
This is not journalism, but publicity stunt

This woman was deliberately obstructing a doctor and nurses from doing their duty inside an ICU! Are duty doctors answerable for the miserable condition of public health infra?
Mangal Pandey – Health Minister of Bihar – is from BJP. Did she question him?pic.twitter.com/J9xqmkzDfS— Ravi Nair (@t_d_h_nair) June 19, 2019
@anjanaomkashyap if you have guts will you dare ask that questions to the Govt. of the day.
Doctors are responsible for the treatment not for providing beds to the patients.— Mohiuddin (@mohiuddin3k) June 19, 2019
Cheap sensationalism.. start directing your questions at the ministers, rather than disturbing hard working resident doctors.. use your head lady…
