An advocate named Manoj Jain took his son, who had a fractured leg, on his electric scooter from one floor to another inside a hospital in Kota, on Thursday. A video of them has gone viral after they were seen entering a lift still on their scooter. Jain told news agency ANI that he had to use his scooter because there was no wheelchair at the hospital and that he was allowed to go in with the permission of the staff. However, the MBS Hospital administration say that he was only permitted to bring the scooter to the gate. 

Advocate Jain told ANI that he was searching for a wheelchair, however, after waiting for a considerable amount of time, he asked the hospital staff Shukla and Mukesh whether he can take his electric scooter in the hospital which "wouldn't disturb any patients", and according to him, they agreed.

He then further added that the hospital administration took his scooter's keys since then he has been sitting patiently.
