After Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav shared a video alleging mishandling of bodies at a hospital in Patna, Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey said that the hospital is following all protocols.

"Hospital authorities have informed me that misinformation is being spread. Hospital is following all protocols," Mr Pandey said.
