Navi Mumbai: Female employee at private clinic allegedly commits suicide, doctor and staff booked for abetment

Thane: A doctor and one more person have been booked for abetment of suicide in Navi Mumbai after a woman ended her life in a hospital over allegations of stealing money, a police official said on Monday.  

The woman, identified as Jarina Rehman Shah, was working in the hospital of the accused for 10 years and she was held captive at the facility after being accused of stealing Rs 10,000, the Nerul police station official said.

“Instead of informing police about the woman’s death in the hospital, the accused took the body to another hospital in Koparkhairane. No arrest has been made and a probe is underway,” he said.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that humiliating an employee on social media has backfired on a doctor belonging to a private hospital in Bhopal as the Anusuchit Jaati Janjaati police (AJAK police) booked the concerned doctor for this reason. Allegedly the doctor humiliated an employee at the pathology lab at the private hospital in Katara Hills and also made casteist remarks at him. Apart from this, the doctor's post got circulated in various groups as well. AJAK police have registered a case against the doctor on the basis of the complaint lodged by the concerned employee. Apart from registering a case against the accused doctor, the police have also initiated an inquiry into the matter.
