Going beyond merely doubting the story, the Lucknow edition of Dainik Bhaskar had a front page report on August 14, under the slug “Bhaskar Partal” (Bhaskar Investigation), which claimed to have found that that along with working for a government hospital, Dr Kafeel Khan was also involved in an illegal practice in a private hospital in the city, Medispring Hospital and Research Centre. What, however, was more intriguing is that a person working at the hospital told the reporter on August 13 that Dr.Khan had taken three oxygen cylinders from his private hospital a night before. On being asked whether Dr. Khan had brought those cylinders from the medical college at the first place, the staff didn’t reply. The patients at the private hospital confirmed that they come to get their children examined by Dr Kafeel Khan. Dr Khan refused to talk to the reporter citing work pressure. The report also has two photographs – one of Dr Khan’s name prominently figuring on the hospital’s wall before the reporter questioned the staff and one with the part carrying his name disappearing under whitewash after the questions.
