Security at Leelavati Hospital in Mumbai, where mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan is undergoing treatment, has been stepped up after a TV reporter allegedly barged into the intensive care unit (ICU) to interview the actor, hospital sources said on Sunday.

Two private security guards, suspected to have let the woman reporter in on Saturday after she allegedly pretended to be a patient at the hospital, have been removed from duty and the private security agency, which had employed them, has been asked not to put them on duty at the hospital again, hospital sources said.

Bachchan, who enjoys `Z’ category security, is already surrounded by police gunmen outside the ICU. This apart, the hospital too had provided a security cover around the ICU and near the hospital to ensure privacy to the superstar.

But the TV reporter succeeded in bypassing the hospital security — first at the hospital entrance pretending to be a patient and then outside the ICU, where she is reported to have pretended to be a Bachchan kin.

She managed to sneak inside the ICU where Amitabh is admitted, but could not get an interview.

Now, the hospital has decided to be extra cautious while allowing people inside the hospital and the ICU, `even if it means causing a little inconvenience’, hospital sources said.

“Media should also act responsibly while reporting on such issues,” hospital sources added.
