Following this, Sunil sat down at the counter on the floor and began filling syringes with multiple doses of medication, raising serious questions of negligence. Doctors and nurses are trained to fill syringes in accordance with the needed procedure. Whereas a security guard does not have prior experience of handling such situations. The video quickly invited criticisms on social media.

The staff nurse has been accused of failing to perform as per the guidelines. The video has been tagged to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Minister and Health Minister Brajesh Pathak, the Union Health Ministry, the District Magistrate, the Chief Minister's Office, and the Director General of the Health Department.
