Police have arrested an operator of a private hospital and his aide on the charge of misbehaving with the sub-divisional magistrate when the latter went to inspect the facility which was allegedly being run illegally despite being sealed on June 19 for "irregularities", officials said.

District Magistrate (Chail) Yogesh Kumar Gaur received information on Saturday night that the hospital was operating despite being sealed. When the SDM reached the hospital, he started making videos of the hospital using his mobile phone.

"Seeing this, the hospital operator, Dr Nisar Ahmed, and his aide Yasir Ahmed obstructed the public servant in the discharge of his duties, misbehaved with him and also snatched his mobile phone," Circle Officer (Chail) Manoj Singh Raghuwanshi said, adding the two were arrested.

The CO said that a case was registered against them under sections 392 (punishment for robbery), 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty), 406 (punishment for criminal breach of trust ) and 411 (dishonestly receiving stolen property) of the IPC on Sunday.

Raghuwanshi said the private hospital located in the Pipri police station area was sealed on June 19 by Chief Medical Officer Sushpendra Kumar after irregularities were found.
