Chandigarh: A sexual harassment angle has been ruled out from the case against the senior resident attached to Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32 Chandigarh (GMCH Chandigarh), who had been arrested by the police based on the complaint by 3 junior resident doctors.
This was decided by the two internal committees of the institute which were investigating the case against the doctor. However, the medico will remain suspended till further orders.
Medical Dialogues had reported about the entire case wherein the police had registered a case under sections 354-A (punishment for Sexual harassment) and 354-B (assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe) of IPC against the senior resident for allegedly harassing three women doctors at the hospital Emergency in an inebriated state.
The junior doctors practising at the institute had levelled allegations of sexual harassment against the doctor after he, in a drunken state, allegedly misbehaved with them. They alleged that the doctor came to the medicine OPD under the influence of liquor and started misbehaving and obstructed them from discharging their duties on December 6. They alleged the accused used abusive language at a time when other staff were present. It was further alleged by the medicos that the senior allegedly dragged one of them by holding her arms from the Medicine ICU to its doctors' duty room. Later, the accused threw a bowl on to a wall which hit the complainants.
