Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who has been helping people across the nation during the COVID crisis, have responded to a tweet of Ganjam District Administration which claimed that his foundation did not contact the authorities for arranging a bed for a needy patient but apparently took credit for it.
The actor shared screenshots of a WhatsApp chat with a person who was seeking help for an oxygen bed.
On Monday, the official Twitter account of the Collector & District Magistrate, Ganjam, informed in a tweet:
We don’t received any communication from @SoodFoundation or @SonuSood . Requested patient is in Home isolation and stable. No bed issues @BrahmapurCorp is monitoring it. 🙏🙏 @CMO_Odisha pic.twitter.com/oDeSrzpE3t

Responding to the tweet, Sonu said that he never claimed to have approached the District Magistrate in the first place. Here is the actors tweet:
