Clinic ransacked over molestation charge Purnia
TNN, Apr 28, 2010, 06.13am IST
PURNIA: An irate mob vandalized a private clinic after a doctor
allegedly misbehaved and molested a Dalit woman at Bhawanipore under
Dhamdaha sub-division in Purnia on Tuesday.
Reports said a 25-year-old Dalit woman, Anju Devi, escorted by her
husband Bijal Ram went to Dr R K Jha's private clinic at Bhawanipore
around 10 am on Tuesday to get their year-old child checked up.
Thereafter, the woman wanted the doctor to check her also. The doctor,
in course of her check-up, allegedly molested the woman. Anju raised
an alarm following which her husband barged into the check-up room and
rescued her.
Later, an irate mob allegedly vandalised the clinic.
An IAS trainee, BDO Girdhar Dayal Singh, said the doctor concerned is
posted at Sadar hospital at Katihar. He runs a private clinic at
Bhawanipore. The BDO along with doctor Prakash Mishra took the
aggrieved woman to the police station. The BDO said he has asked the
SHO to lodge an FIR against the errant doctor. The doctor, however,
rubbished charges of molestation or misdemeanour with the Dalit woman.
Dr Jha told TOI over the phone that the woman, who is pregnant,
complained of some complications and asked him to check her after her
child was examined. She had entered the ante chamber escorted by none
other than her husband, Dr Jha told.
Dhamdaha deputy superintendent of police Sanjay Bharati said there was
some kind of misunderstanding during the medical check-up which led to
the avoidable row. "Everything is normal now," the DSP added.
