Indian driver of African ambassador poses as employer to get admitted to AIIMS easily

A driver working for the ambassador of a South African country reportedly impersonated as the ambassador to get himself admitted in AIIMS easily after he had an epilepsy attack on Tuesday evening. PCR sources said that they are not sure whether the driver himself made the call but the cops were mislead thinking the driver is the ambassador.

The police source said that the call led to some argument between police personnel and AIIMS staff.
"The caller wanted to mislead the PCR personnel for quick treatment. Action should be taken against the caller for making such a call," said the source.

PCR received a call at around 5pm on Tuesday where the caller said that AIIMS doctors were not treating the ambassador who had an epilepsy attack. Sources claimed that the caller also said that the doctors had refused to get the ambassador admitted in the hospital. "The PCR personnel reached AIIMS and had an argument with the staff for not helping the ambassador. AIIMS staff told us that no ambassador has been brought in the hospital. We were amazed. We called back and got to know that a person who is only a driver to ambassador had an epilepsy attack and was brought to AIIMS," said the source.

The man who was brought in at AIIMS was identified as Sunil, the driver to Ambassador of Rwanda. Four Africans and an Indianu00a0 brought him to AIIMS. Sunil underwent treatment for 15 minutes and was discharged from the hospital.

"We scolded them for making such calls. Action should be taken against them," said the PCR source.
Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said that such calls are not hoax. "This type of call is not a crime. No offence is made by the caller," said Bhagat.
