The tweet comes in response to Sonu Sood's tweet posted on May 15, which reads: "Not to worry. Bed has been arranged at Ganjam City Hospital, Berhampur (DCHC) @SoodFoundation."

Ur office is doing a great job & u can double check that we had helped him too. Have DM you his contact details. Jai hind."
