Services Hospital Seeks Disciplinary and Criminal Action After Alleged Assault on AMS

An internal review blames a trainee doctor, prompting hospital calls for tougher measures.

Overview

  • The hospital administration recommends strict departmental action against a postgraduate trainee and criminal proceedings against five medics over the incident, according to the medical superintendent.
  • Officials say the injured AMS has lodged an FIR naming five medics, and police have been asked to identify two alleged outsiders said to be involved.
  • The medical superintendent says inquiries under his supervision found the trainee primarily responsible for the attack on AMS Dr. Shakil.
  • A video circulating on social media purportedly shows the assault, and a medico-legal report documents injuries sustained by the AMS, hospital officials say.
  • The Young Doctors Association contends an earlier assault on a junior doctor triggered the altercation and has called for a transparent, impartial inquiry, which the hospital has initiated.
