“As of now, we are gathering more information and verifying whether the content violates any legal provisions,” a senior police official told PTI.

As per a media report in the TOI, Mangaluru City police commissioner Anupam Agrawal said that police registered a case, and the doctor was called to the station for investigation. As part of the investigation, a notice was served to her to arrive at the station whenever asked. Her mobile phone was confiscated and sent for forensic analysis. A case was registered under sections 353 and 196 of the BNS, he said.

No formal case has been registered yet, police said, adding that further action will be taken based on the outcome of the preliminary inquiry.

In response, the hospital distanced itself from the doctor’s remarks and strongly condemned them, stating that the views expressed in the post were harmful to the nation’s interest and did not reflect the institution’s values.
