Doctor, female staff of Kalasa CHC attacked by miscreants
Chikkamagaluru: Another incident of physical assault against healthcare professionals occurred at Kalasa Taluk Community Health Center (CHC), where an on-duty doctor and a female staff member were allegedly attacked by three men. Following the attack, the doctor expressed his intention to resign which has left many patients in distress.
As per a recent local media report, the doctor was allegedly assaulted while he was attending a patient. It is reported that even though the doctor filed a complaint at the Kalasa police station against the three miscreants, no action has been taken against the accused so far. Rumours have emerged that the attackers may be associated with a political party and are being shielded from arrest due to political influence.
