"I just received a fax some time ago about the order stating my transfer to the Delhi government. This was done arbitrarily without any reason. I will try to find out why it was done," Rajpal said.

"Before joining Safdarjung Hospital, I was with a Delhi government hospital itself. So let me see how it has been done," he said.
