In the meantime, the state government has terminated the services of the accused doctor. Following the incident, he has been removed from his position, and his appointment has been revoked.
Dr. Upendra Singh, on emergency duty, informed the media that the minor was initially admitted to the women’s ward. On the night of May 29, around 8:30 PM, she was transferred to the emergency department due to severe bleeding. During treatment, the minor alleged that she had been sexually assaulted multiple times in the OPD area of the hospital.
A medical examination of the minor was conducted under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. She was provided with necessary counseling, and her statement was recorded.
