Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], The State Human Rights Commission on Thursday registered a suo motu case against the shooting of a film in the emergency department of Angamaly Taluk Hospital in Ernakulam, which caused major inconvenience to the patients.
The film, titled 'Painkili' and produced by Fahadh Faasil, began shooting at the hospital at 9 pm.
The Human Rights Commission has sought an explanation within seven days from those who gave permission for the shooting in the emergency department of a government hospital.
Ernakulam District Medical Officer and Angamaly Taluk Hospital Superintendent have been directed to provide detailed reports.
According to the commission, the emergency room lights were dimmed and restrictions were imposed during the shooting. Around 50 people, including actors, were present in the emergency room. Reports claimed that people who came with emergency medical problems could not even enter the premises due to the filming.
"It is understood that filming continued while doctors were treating patients. The limited space in the emergency department aggravated the situation. A person accompanying a critically ill patient was unable to enter the emergency department. Entry through the main gate was blocked, and the commission said, "The crew instructed patients and spectators to remain quiet during filming."
Health Minister Veena George has also sought clarification from the Director of the Health Department regarding the incident.
