Molestation case: Doctors want OT technician of GMCH-32 arrested

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, July 5

Resident doctors of the Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, held a peaceful symbolic protest in front of Admin Block on the campus in view of “delay in justice” and “failure to arrest” an OT technician, who allegedly molested a third-year student.

On Saturday, the college authorities had suspended the OT technician, identified as Kamleshwar.

Dr Sandeep Singh, president of the United Resident Doctors Association, said, “The response from the police in this matter is delayed as the suspect has still not been arrested. Such incidents and lack of adequate response bring our morale down as doctors, running the hospital round the clock and questions our safety at the workplace. Anaesthesia residents are running critical care units and OTs without any delay in patient care. In such a scenario, delay in bringing the suspect to justice is not acceptable to us. We condemn this heinous act by a staff member and want prompt and amplified efforts from the police in making sure that the culprit is arrested as soon as possible.”
