Gurdaspur: A doctor attached to a Civil Hospital has been arrested for taking bribe for allegedly changing a medico-legal report (MLR). A medico-legal report is a report written by a doctor in the role of a medical expert witness in a legal case. However, the recent case of tampering the MLR has sent a shock wave to the medical fraternity, suggests a recent media report in The Tribune.
The doctor was caught red-handed on February 10, 2020, by the Vigilance Bureau. This came following a trap set by the sleuths based on a complaint by one Amrik Singh. In his complaint, Singh stated that the doctor was allegedly demanding illegal gratification for changing the contents of the MLR.
