A section of resident doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Monday held a protest over the reinstatement of a senior professor, who was accused of allegedly assaulting one of their colleagues in April.
The alleged assault had triggered a three-day strike by the resident doctors.
Report sought
The protestors on Monday demanded the senior doctor’s suspension and asked the authorities to share the internal committee’s report on the basis of which he was reinstated.
“We have asked the AIIMS administration to give us the report of the panel,” a resident doctor said.
The strike in April was called off after the director appealed to the resident doctors to resume work.
The senior doctor concerned had to tender a written apology and was asked to proceed on leave on the directions of an internal probe panel.
The doctor, who is heading a department at AIIMS, appeared before an inquiry panel, which was constituted after the protesting resident doctors demanded his immediate suspension.
The doctors had in April demanded that the administration suspend the senior doctor for allegedly slapping one of their colleagues in front of patients and other staffers.
The AIIMS Resident Doctors Association had also written to Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda, who is also the president of AIIMS, seeking revocation of Padmashree and Dr. B.C. Roy awards to the senior doctor.
