Digapahandi: A video of a doctor posted in Digapahandi community health centre demanding bribe from unemployed youths and students for providing health certificates has gone viral on social media platforms, a report said Thursday.
The doctor is seen demanding a bribe of Rs 100 from each unemployed youth who visits him for a health certificate for applying for home guard posts in the police department.
