Police officers drove directly into the emergency ward

Apprehend a nursing officer for sexually harassing a female doctor

Following allegations, accused was suspended from his position

In a dramatic turn of events at AIIMS Rishikesh, police officers drove directly into the emergency ward on Tuesday to apprehend a nursing officer accused of sexually harassing a female doctor.

The incident, captured in a viral video, shows a police SUV navigating through a bustling emergency ward, with patients and medical staff hastily moved aside to clear the path.

The 26-second clip, reminiscent of an action movie scene, depicts the police car driving past rows of patients, with security personnel pushing stretchers out of the way. The police vehicle, carrying several officers, swiftly moves towards its target.

The nursing officer, identified as Satish Kumar, allegedly harassed a female doctor in an operation theatre and sent her an obscene SMS, reportedly according to Rishikesh police officer Shankar Singh Bisht. Following the allegations, Kumar was suspended from his position.

The incident sparked outrage among the hospital’s doctors, leading them to strike and protest outside the dean’s office, demanding Kumar’s termination. The doctors also filed a police complaint, prompting the dramatic arrest.

In another video, police officers are seen surrounded by protesting doctors as they escort Kumar into the police car. The doctors, chanting slogans, insisted that Kumar’s suspension was insufficient, calling for his immediate dismissal. Despite the protests, emergency services at AIIMS Rishikesh remain operational, though the strike continues.
