The police officers put on a highly commendable performance in their attempt to arrest a nurse, who was alleged to have sexually harassed a female medical practitioner, at AIIMS Rishikesh. This action-packed sequence took place when a police patrol vehicle aggressively drove through the flooded emergency unit of the renowned medical institution.
The video clip capturing the incident circulated widely, depicting the police vehicle maneuvering through the bustling ward, with patients lying in beds on both sides. Amidst the chaos, security officials were seen clearing a path for the SUV, hastily pushing aside stretchers carrying patients. Inside the car, several officers could be seen, showcasing the intensity of the pursuit.
According to reports, the accused nursing officer, Satish Kumar, allegedly sexually harassed a woman doctor within an operation theatre of the hospital. Additionally, Kumar purportedly sent obscene text messages to the victim, further exacerbating the situation. Confirming the allegations, Rishikesh police officer Shankar Singh Bisht revealed details of the incident to news agency PTI.

The revelation of the harassment prompted outrage among the hospital’s medical community, prompting doctors to take swift action. The doctors protested by going on strike. They then met outside the dean’s office and demanded immediate action be taken against the perpetrator. They felt that Kumar deserved more than just a suspension from work while protesting, so they wanted him fired off for such inhumane conduct within this institution.
In response to the escalating tension, law enforcement decided to take decisive action. Faced with a sizable group of protesting doctors, the police opted to drive directly into the hospital premises to apprehend Kumar. Another video surfaced, capturing the moment when officers escorted the accused man into the waiting vehicle amidst the clamor of slogans and demands for justice.
While the incident has sparked fervent debate and drawn attention to issues of harassment within healthcare settings, emergency services at AIIMS Rishikesh remain operational. Nevertheless, as the striking doctors continue, it serves as a testament to their dedication toward a secure and respectful working place for medical professionals at large.
