5 female, 7 male resident doctors of private medical college arrested for alleged booze party

Based on the complaint, a team of police patrol teams from Waghodia police station had raided the house early morning and found 12 persons including five women in an inebriated condition.

The team also recovered six empty bottles of high-end Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) from the premises. The medical practitioners also failed to furnish any pass or permits for the consumption of liquor. All of them were arrested from the spot after breath analyzing tests.

The hospital attached to the medical institute is one of the private hospitals designated as Covid-19 facility and is empanelled for free treatment to the cardholders of Mukhyamantri Amrutum yojana.

"Their exams were over which is why they had gathered at the apartment. They must have performed duties at the Covid-19 facility attached to the medical college on a rotational basis but we are still investigating whether they were on duty at present since they had exams. All of them have been released since the offense is bailable," police-inspector AG Parmar told The Indian Express.
