“The 33-year-old woman hanged herself on Monday afternoon while on duty at the hospital after which an abetment to suicide case was registered against the doctor and one more person on the complaint of her kin,” he said.
“Instead of informing police about the woman’s death in the hospital, the accused took the body to another hospital in Koparkhairane. No arrest has been made and a probe is underway,” he said.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that humiliating an employee on social media has backfired on a doctor belonging to a private hospital in Bhopal as the Anusuchit Jaati Janjaati police (AJAK police) booked the concerned doctor for this reason. Allegedly the doctor humiliated an employee at the pathology lab at the private hospital in Katara Hills and also made casteist remarks at him. Apart from this, the doctor's post got circulated in various groups as well. AJAK police have registered a case against the doctor on the basis of the complaint lodged by the concerned employee. Apart from registering a case against the accused doctor, the police have also initiated an inquiry into the matter.
