Cops delay ambulance for VVIP movement, passerby records it 'Live' on Facebook

Humanity was served cold after the Delhi Police allegedly stopped an ambulance for 20 minutes near IGI stadium in Central Delhi to facilitate the VVIP movement on Saturday.

Locals allege that the cops refused to let go the ambulance that was carrying a child patient despite repeated request by general public and ambulance staff. The route was barricaded for the movement of Malaysian Prime Minister's delegation movement.

Owing to the route being barricaded, a mild traffic jam was sprawling on the Rajgath new link road. Soon, the motorists heard ambulance siren and in the show of highest morality and discipline the motorists paved the way for the emergency vehicle.

However, soon they realised that the ambulance was forced to stand still by the cops using barricades for VVIP movement."We were shocked at the police behavior. They simply refused the ambulance to pass citing orders from seniors and until the VVIP movement was over. They paid no heed to the boy patient in the ambulance," said one such witness, Preet.

Seeing the apathy of the cops, Preet took out his mobile phone and went live on Facebook.

The live recording showcased the men in uniform guarding the barricades and refusing the wheels of the ambulance to move an inch.

The video also shows the motorists pleading the cops to let the ambulance pass but their pleas went unheard.

The ambulance driver also urged the cops but was unheard.

"Who would be responsible if the child dies?", shouted the ignored ambulance driver.

The Facebook Live soon received more than five thousand Likes with various comments demanding immediate suspension and strict action against those responsible for the errant act.

It was only after the cavalcade passed, that the ambulance was allowed to move.

Ironically the incident comes at a time when the government is making policies to reward good Samaritans who help injured people in traffic accidents and take them to hospitals.

The senior police officers could not be reached on phone for their version of the sequence of events.
