KC General Hospital submits report in molestation case
BENGALURU: A day after Express reported an alleged molestation of an intern at KC General Hospital, Malleswaram, that happened on September 23, the medical superintendent of the hospital Dr H Ravikumar submitted a report on the incident to health commissioner Manoj Meena.
Ravikumar said, “I have submitted a report on the incident to the commissioner. He is yet to review it.”
When Express contacted Manoj Meena, he said, “I can comment on the issue only on 3rd or 4th October (owing to extended holiday weekend because of Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti).”
According to sources at the hospital, the incident occurred on September 23 when the medical officer, who was in-charge of the casualty department, called the intern to his room at 2 am under the pretext of giving her an assignment. He locked the door and allegedly touched her inappropriately telling her he needed to check her heartbeat. Showing presence of mind, the student quickly unlocked the door while pleading with the doctor to leave her alone. She ran out and raised an alarm, sources said.
