The Resident Doctors Association (RDA) at AIIMS-Patna has sent a letter to the medical superintendent of the hospital demanding stern legal action against JD(U) MLA Anand Mohan and demanding to increase that security be increased in and around the premises, in the absence of which there might be an influx of more such incidents in the future.
According to a letter sent by the RDA, the MLA had entered the hospital together with his wife and some armed security guards and assaulted security guards, threatened resident doctors with death, and even brandished a firearm in the hospital premises. The letter also pointed out that one security guard had suffered severe injuries in the confrontation, and resident doctors had to endure abuse and threats at their workplace.
To protest against it, the doctors of AIIMS-Patna have boycotted services, which have adversely affected emergency, OPD, and other vital medical services on Thursday. The strike helped bring it to the attention of the people that medical professionals have a safety issue in government hospitals.
On the one hand, MLA Anand Mohan, who has recently changed his party affiliation, the RJD to the JD(U), has filed a police complaint where he accused the hospital staff of misbehaving with him and his wife. Addressing media persons, he said that he had visited a supporter, admitted at AIIMS, when his security guards had been denied entry into the hospital by the security personnel. To him, this was what caused a fight as his wife was allegedly manhandled by hospital staff, resulting in her being injured on her wrist and back. He further claimed he was detained at a point and could only raise the complaint after some time later in the local police station.
The SHO, GS Alam, of Phulwari Sharif police station, informed that he had filed an FIR against the MLA after the complaint by the hospital, but another complaint by the legislator is under investigation. The situation is still tense as investigations are going on.
