#randhirkapoor is Rich & has multiple houses, where he can set up a care-unit for himself and get a 24*7 nurse (Even doctor).

BUT he chooses to use Public resources, which could've been occupied by some other patient in need.
If this isn't misuse of privilege, then what is?

A man who has already got 2 doses of vaccines is still able to get a bed in a hospital and that too without any discomfort.
