An Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) of Haryana Police alleged slapped a woman, identified as Heena, at Civil Hospital, Jagadhri.

Heena told mediapersons that her relative’s daughter was admitted at the hospital.
She said that she, along with her husband Irshad, had gone to the hospital on the night of March 8 to enquire about the health of the girl admitted there.
“After meeting her, I was sitting outside the building. A person came there and introduced himself as the in-charge of the police post in the hospital. He was in plain clothes and he started misbehaving with me. When I protested his move, he started slapping me,” alleged Heena.
SP Rajeev Deswal said that the issue of slapping came to his notice through a video. He said that on the basis of the video, action was taken against the policeman. “He has been suspended and a departmental inquiry has been started against him,” said SP Rajeev Deswal.
On the other hand, Dr Amardeep Singh told the police that he was on night duty on March 8. He said that he got information that a woman and some other persons were creating ruckus on the hospital premises.
He said that he immediately informed the staff of the police post at the hospital and two policemen, Rajesh Kumar and Dilshad, reached the spot. He said that those people misbehaved with those policemen.
“After getting information, a team of Dial 112 and ASI Sanjeev Kumar, posted as in-charge of the police post also reached the spot. When ASI Sanjeev tried to persuade Heena, she manhandled him,” alleged Dr Amardeep Singh in his police complaint.
