AIIMS Patna Scuffle: Resident doctors strike over alleged MLA Misconduct

Resident doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Patna went on a strike on Friday against the alleged manhandling of hospital staff by Sheohar MLA Chetan Anand. The incident reportedly escalated into a scuffle after the MLA's supporters allegedly attempted to enter the hospital premises. When security personnel attempted to stop them, a heated exchange broke out between the two sides.

Healthcare services were affected at AIIMS Patna on Friday as resident doctors boycotted work in protest against the alleged high-handedness of Sheohar MLA Chetan Anand.

In a letter to the medical superintendent of AIIMS Patna, the Resident Doctors’ Association (RDA) sought legal action against Anand and the deployment of security personnel on the hospital premises.

“The MLA, his wife and his armed guards forcibly entered the hospital area, physically assaulted security staff, threatened resident doctors with death and brandished a firearm within hospital premises. A hospital guard was brutally injured and resident doctors were subjected to threats and abuse inside their own workplace,” the RDA alleged in the letter, according to a PTI news report.
