Telangana: Govt doctor booked for posting objectionable content on state IMA WhatsApp group

As per a recent media report, on August 30, the doctor, who is a surgeon attached to Sircilla government hospital posted an objectionable message in the WhatsApp group of the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Sircilla district unit. In the message, he attacked Hindu organizations like ABVP, RSS, and BJP. The doctor allegedly referred to the members of the associations in derogatory terms and thus insulted them.

In his complaint, he alleged that the doctor has posted objectionable content in a WhatsApp group where he defamed Hindu groups and used objectionable language against them. Telangana Today reports that the doctor had allegedly termed them as "Lustful fellows and rapists."

Venu further stated that this kind of content will probably create enmity and tension between two communities- Hindus and Muslims. It can also encourage communal conflict.

Hence, the police must take immediate action against the accused doctor if proven guilty as it is important to discourage such posts which can hurt the religious sentiments of any community. Based on the complaint of Venu, the police has registered a case against the particular government doctor, reports the daily.
