Worth mentioning, the doctor had stepped down from his post on February 9 after being accused of undertaking unverified medical practices.

On December 7, Dr Aswini was served with a show cause notice by Commissioner-cum-Secretary of Health Department following the allegations levelled against him by the Junior Doctors’ Association (JDA). He was later sent on leave the very next day by the State Government.
