According to the case, Pankaj Singh was approached by the relatives of a patient when the radiologist did not pay attention to the patient. Instead of making MRI of the patient the radiologist made excuses. Following the intervention of Pankaj Singh, MRI of the patient could be possible. 

The Hospital management had lodged a complaint against Pankaj Singh which was strongly opposed by his supporters who also staged a demonstration at the police station. It was alleged that the other group of Congress was behind the action taken against PankajSingh.
