Doctor-Influencer War Explodes: Dr. Rakshita Singh Accused Of "Illegal" Supplement Deals After Calling Hospitals "Looters"

A vicious war has erupted in the Indian medical influencer community, and the accusations are explosive. Dr. Rakshita Singh, a creator with 2.5 million followers, is under fire after calling private hospitals “looters.” But the real bombshell comes from a rival doctor, Dr. Rahul Chawla, who has publicly accused her of earning lakhs by illegally promoting “bogus health supplements”—a charge that could put her entire career in jeopardy.

The controversy, detailed in a deep-dive by the YouTube channel The Spill Bee, ignited when Dr. Rakshita posted a now-deleted reel. In it, she claimed “Maximum private hospitals are looting,” a statement based on a personal experience where her sister-in-law underwent an emergency C-section that cost around ₹1 lakh, which Dr. Singh seemingly felt was unnecessary and profit-driven.

The reel immediately split the internet. While some viewers shared their own stories of being overcharged, many were outraged. But no reaction was more ferocious than that of Dr. Rahul Chawla, who launched a full-scale takedown of the popular influencer.

In a blistering response, Dr. Chawla questioned Dr. Rakshita’s medical judgment for making such a sweeping claim without knowing the clinical reasons for the C-section. But he didn’t stop there. He turned the accusation back on her with a vengeance.

“‘Maximum private hospitals are looting,’ claims an unethical cringe content creator who happens to be an MBBS graduate who charges more money per video to promote a bogus health supplement than what a super-specialist doctor earns in a month,” Dr. Chawla wrote, pulling no punches.

This is the heart of the Dr. Rakshita Singh Controversy. The accusation of doctors promoting supplements illegally has turned a personal grievance into a massive ethical firestorm. Dr. Chawla alleges that Dr. Rakshita’s online activities are a violation of Medical Council rules, which forbid such promotions.

He then posed the ultimate question to the public: “Now tell me one thing, who exactly is looting? The one saving lives after years of studies and training? Or the one who sells cringe content, sells trust, compromises patient dignity, sidelines medical ethics, and sells bogus supplements, converting all of it into brand deals?”

The takedown has forced the community to confront the growing issue of unethical medical influencers. As doctors and health professionals amass huge followings, the line between providing information and profiting from influence becomes dangerously blurred.

“This is the conversation we needed to have,” a senior medical professional, who wished to remain anonymous, told DeetsDaily. “When a doctor’s recommendation is tied to a brand deal worth lakhs, can the public truly trust it? Dr. Chawla’s accusations, if true, are a serious breach of medical ethics.”

The role of The Spill Bee in this has been to provide a more measured look at the situation, urging viewers to consider all sides before jumping to conclusions. However, the severity of Dr. Chawla’s claims, particularly the specific allegation of illegal paid promotions, has made it the central focus of the debate.

Dr. Rakshita Singh has yet to publicly respond to the specific allegations regarding her supplement promotions. Her silence has only fueled the speculation. Has she been unfairly targeted, as The Spill Bee initially cautioned might be the case? Or has her own “looters” claim exposed her to a level of scrutiny she wasn’t prepared for?

This feud is no longer just a social media spat. It’s a battle for credibility that could have lasting repercussions for the entire medical influencer industry in India. The public is now watching, and the Medical Council may soon be forced to intervene.

What do you think? Should doctors be allowed to promote products for money? And who do you believe in this explosive feud? Let us know in the comments.
