Kolkata: An on-duty doctor, nursing staff and other personnel of the state-run North Suburban Hospital in the Cossipore area of the metropolis were allegedly threatened by two security guards who were reportedly intoxicated on Friday night. The police arrested the guards following a complaint from the hospital authorities.
The guards, who were reportedly inebriated, were detained following a complaint from the hospital authorities, according to an official.
According to the PTI report, an officer of Cossipore Police Station said, “The matter is being probed. We have arrested them after receiving a complaint from the hospital authorities”.
A senior official of the hospital claimed that the guards had also threatened him with dire consequences.
“The two guards were intoxicated and assaulted the doctors and hospital staff. They have done this earlier, too, and we had complained to the health department in this regard,” he said, news agency PTI reported.
As per a media report in the Telegraph, ''Around 1 am, the two kept banging on the door from outside and threatened the on-duty doctor and nurse with dire consequences if it was not opened,” Kayal said. “The nurse and on-duty doctor kept calling me for help since I live nearby”, said Shantanu Kayal, a hospital staff.
“The misdeed of these two security personnel was brought up several times at the meeting of the hospital’s Rogi Kalyan Samity,” an official said. “They have been posted by the health department three years back at this hospital and have not been shifted to any other institution since then.”
“Based on a written complaint, we have arrested the two accused security personnel on charges of wrongful restraint and criminal intimidation. The two were produced before a court that remanded the duo to police custody till September 5,” said a senior police officer.
The hospital currently has 11 such security guards, he said.
