Raipur: A senior professor and the head of the medicine department at a Raipur-based Pandit Jawahar Lal Memorial Medical College has been accused of sexually harassing a female medical student. As a result, he has been booked in connection with the case and has been removed from his HOD position at the college.
The incident reportedly took place earlier this year, between January 2 and 10. The accused doctor is reported to be in his forties and has been accused of making obscene acts to the student.
According to a senior police officer, the student had initially approached the college authorities regarding the doctor's inappropriate behaviour. The college then conducted an internal inquiry, and the doctor was removed from his position as Head of Department (HoD). Later, the student decided to take the matter to the police.
