Overview

  • Resident doctors held emergency and outpatient services suspended for a second day as their indefinite boycott persisted.
  • RDA representatives met hospital leaders and won assurances to install CCTV in high-risk areas and publicly release footage within 72 hours.
  • The doctors are demanding quashing of the MLA-filed FIR, invocation of the Arms Act in the investigation and institutional legal support for staff.
  • Phulwari Sharif police have registered FIRs from both AIIMS administration and MLA Chetan Anand and are probing conflicting accounts.
  • The dispute began on July 30 when Chetan Anand, his wife and guards allegedly forced entry, assaulted security personnel and brandished a firearm on campus.
