The alleged vaccine trade case involving Basavanagudi MLA,Ravi Subramanya has taken another twist on Monday with the AV hospital complaint to the police stating that someone was trying to defame the hospital and the MLA and sought criminal action .
Dr Rajesh Murthy,chairman of the A V hospital situated in Banashankari third stage,said that audio clip containing the conversation between a social activist and alleged employee of A.V. Multispeciality hospital going viral in social media has premeditated to defame the hospital and the MLA.
The vaccination in the hospital is independent and the MLA has no connection.The Vaccines are procured by the hospital and are administered to members of the general public by charging the fee prescribed by the government.
Expressing anguish about the incident Dr Murthy requested the police to investigate and take legal action against the person who is behind the mischievous act.
We have taken this as a petition and issued notice to the social activist seeking his details about the conversation,a senior police officer said .
Going by the content of the complaint,it can be treated as defamation for which the hospital has to approach the court,he added .
