Prayagraj: A hospital in Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, constituted a probe committee after a video of a woman offering namaz on its premises surfaced online on Friday, 23 September.
Responding to media reports of an FIR being filed against the woman, Prayagraj police on Friday said that the woman has committed no crime and no FIRs were lodged in relation to the incident.
“In the probe of the viral video, it was found that the woman without any wrong intention or without obstructing any work or movement had offered prayers for the speedy recovery of her patient admitted in the hospital,” the police said in a tweet.
A woman named Sabiha had come on Thursday to meet a patient admitted in the dengue ward. In the afternoon, she started offering namaz in the ward itself.
Someone made a video of her and posted it on social media, after which the hospital administration reached the ward and warned the woman not to offer namaz there, Akhauri said. The hospital administration has now constituted a committee to probe the incident, he added.
