The Medico had further claimed that she was not the only one who was being harassed, some other students were also facing the same situation as her but they were scared of coming forward.  The medico mentioned an incident saying that after returning from Bengaluru, the professor removed all the interns and junior residents from the victim's ward and did not let her enter the operation theatre.
