Kotdwar: A medical officer of Satpuli Community Health Centre (CHC) has been suspended for allegedly misbehaving with patients and their attendants in an "inebriated" state and using "indecent language" against Cabinet Minister Satpal Maharaj.
Health Secretary R Rajesh Kumar suspended the doctor with immediate effect.
The accused was the medical officer of Satpuli Community Health Centre (CHC).
Satpuli is located in Satpal Maharaj's constituency Chaubattakhal.
The doctor was found drunk when two people brought a patient from a nearby village for treatment to the CHC late on Monday night, the official said.
When they requested the doctor to treat the patient, he began the formalities to refer him to a higher centre.
