Lucknow: In a bizarre incident, Uttar Pradesh Textile minister Satyadev Pachauri’s security guard tried to get a MRI scan with his weapon still on him. The result was hysterical yet serious.
Satyadev is Minister of Khadi, Village Industries, Sericulture, Textile, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Export Promotion in the Government of Uttar Pradesh.
Yesterday, when Satyadev Pachauri was taken to the Lohia Institute, he flouted the protocol of passing through the MRI machine.
While ignoring the instructions, he entered the MRI chamber, where the machine pulled up the pistol as soon as he was exposed to the machine’s magnetic field.
As soon as the minister saw the pistol being pulled out and sticking to the machine, he fled from the MRI room. The MRI machine at the Lohia Institute is a 3 Tesla MRI machine which costs around Rs 5 crore.
The damage caused to the MRI is likely to be around Rs 25 lakh. The pistol was loaded and a shot could have destroyed the oncology department of the facility. The damaged MRI machine has created problem for other patients who visit the hospital.
