It is alleged the ward boy misbehaved with a nurse and also beat her up over a petty issue on the varsity campus. The entire incident was recorded on CCTV.
Following the incident, the nurses staged a protest outside Lari Cardiology, where the incident took place.
According to the complaint filed by the nurse, she was working in the Lari Cardiology when the ward boy came and asked another nurse in a harsh manner to take a blood sample of a patient.
The complainant objected to his behaviour and this led to a heated exchange of words between the two. The nurse alleged that the ward boy first spoke to her in an indecent manner and then twisted her arm.
Dr Sudhir Singh, spokesperson, KGMU, said, "The services of the ward boy have been terminated, and a fine has been imposed on the work agency."
