![Clash between RIMS Junior doctors, security staff; several injured Clash between RIMS Junior doctors, security staff; several injured](https://medicaldialogues.in/h-upload/2024/08/28/750x450_249955-untitled-design-2024-08-28t172551484.webp)
Ranchi: In a violent clash that erupted between junior doctors and home guards deployed for security at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) Ranchi, several junior doctors and home guards of the institute were allegedly brutally attacked resulting in severe injuries and some were also admitted to the emergency department.
The junior doctors have alleged that the clash occurred because the security staff started a physical confrontation with them over the issue of identification cards to enter a stadium inside their campus.
A female student alleged that a female security officer behaved inappropriately towards her. Although she showed her ID card, she was refused entry to the stadium and experienced rough treatment.
The incident took place on Tuesday night when a medical student and a female student were trying to enter the stadium. The home guard jawans deployed for security asked them for their ID cards. They told them that the RIMS superintendent had given clear instructions that no student should be allowed to enter the stadium after 7:00 pm.

As per a regional news report by Punjan Kesari, the female student after this incident informed other students and junior doctors about this. This led to the start of a violent dispute among the doctors and the guards. The medical students alleged that the behaviour of the security guards is often abusive and they do not treat the students properly.
Many videos of the incident that went viral showed doctors asking the home guards if they were intoxicated. In these clips, the doctors claimed that the guards seemed drunk and were allegedly wielding sticks and one person was holding a tube light, implying a potential intent to attack them.
Meanwhile, the guards have claimed that an armoury is located for them in the stadium inside the campus where all their guns are kept. They claimed that at around 11 pm, when some Home Guard jawans were going to the stadium to get their guns, the junior doctors stopped them following which an argument broke out and the junior doctors allegedly attacked them. The situation escalated when a fight erupted between the doctors and the guards.
To bring the situation under control, the college authorities informed the police. After getting information about the matter, teams from several police stations including Sadar DSP Sanjeev Besra reached the spot and calmed down the situation.
As per the Daily, the administration said, "A thorough investigation of this matter will be done and strict action will be taken against the culprits." Meanwhile, the police said that they have recorded the statements of both the parties and action will be taken accordingly in this matter soon.
