After the rage about the shocking gang rape in Varansi were not even over, another news came from Gurugram’s multi-speciality hospital Medanta, where a flight attendednt alleged of being assaulted sexually by a ward boy in the presence of two nurses wh did nothing to stop him.
She also disclosed that she heard the nurses converse with the male nurse while they were present in the ICU for changing the bedsheet of the victim. Reporting the incident, she described that the ward boy asked the nurses about the size of her waistband and told them to check it himself, while they stood doing nothing. After registering the FIR, she told the authorities that what happened to her in the hospital was not right and must be investigated.
If true, the incident is not just pathetic but a gruesome murder of humanity. Aged 46, the woman was said to be on a ventilator when the incident occurred, while she was weak and not in a condition to react. However, TOI reported that she talked about the nurses in the room in her statement. After her discharge from the hospital, she disclosed the news to her husband and filed an FIR at the Sadar police station.
The victim, belonging to West Bengal, came to Gurugram for a training with a popular airline, and after nearly drowning inside a pool, she was taken to the hospital, where the incident took place at about 9 pm on 6th April. Her case has been registered under the applicable sections of BNS, and an investigation against the authorities of Medanta is undergoing.
Amidst this, the hospital had issued a statement where it said that the documents and CCTV footage have been given to the police, but nothing has been proven till now. The hospital staff is cooperating, and the police have further remarked that the proceedings are underway, but any other details cannot be shared due to the sensitive nature of the case.
Medanta is a trusted and highly specialised hospital, and if such an incident is suspected to take place in the premises of a leading hospital of the country, it is a question mark on the authorities of the hospital and the state itself.
