SIT formed to probe alleged sexual assault on patient at Gurugram Hospital
Gurugram: Police on Thursday set up a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the alleged sexual assault case of a flight attendant who was on a ventilator in Medanta Hospital, officials said.
According to a police spokesperson, Police Commissioner Vikas Kumar Arora constituted the seven-member SIT led by Dr Arpit Jain, DCP (headquarters), who is also an MBBS doctor.
The other members in the SIT included two ACPs, two SHOs, an in-charge of the Sector 40 crime unit and the investigating officer of the case, he added.
After four days of investigation, police have not identified the accused yet. The investigation so far has not proven the allegations of the flight attendant, police said, news agency PTI reported.
Medical Dialogues recently reported that a 46-year-old trainee air hostess has lodged a police complaint alleging sexual assault by a ward staffer while she was on the ventilator in the ICU during treatment at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram. While hospital authorities did not refute the claims, they stated that they are cooperating with the police and that the allegations have not yet been substantiated.
