We still need to figure out if it is actually a snake thats biting him. We also need to see the competence of the doctor who is treating him. A person being bitten by a snake every Saturday and that person being admitted to the same hospital every time and recovering in just one day seems strange, he said.Investigation LaunchedTo uncover the truth, a team of three doctors has been formed to investigate the situation. This is why we thought of forming a team to investigate the case, after which I will tell the people the truth of the matter, Giri added.Medical ResponseAccording to officials, every time Vikas Dubey was bitten by a snake, he was promptly taken to the hospital and recovered after receiving treatment. The unusual frequency and pattern of these incidents have raised concerns and prompted further investigation into the authenticity and circumstances surrounding the snake bites.
