COIMBATORE: A 25-year-old man tried to molest a girl home surgeon in Coimbatore Medical Faculty Hospital (CMCH) on Wednesday evening.
The accused, recognized as Mayank Galar of Hoshangabad in Madhya Pradesh, was arrested on Thursday and booked below part 74 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhit (assault or use of legal pressure in opposition to a girl with the intention to outrage her modesty, punishable with a jail time period not lower than one 12 months, and extendable as much as 5 years) and part 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Girls Act.
The incident occurred round 9pm, when the home surgeon went to take her bike parked close to the CMCH dean’s workplace. The accused eliminated his pants and tried to molest her, however the physician pushed him and ran to her hostel on the hospital premises, whereas Galar fled the spot. Different home surgeons instantly alerted the hospital’s safety guards, who caught Galar on the hospital’s casualty ward round 1 am, and later handed him over to police.
Based mostly on a criticism lodged by the resident medical officer of CMCH, an FIR was registered. Greater than 150 home surgeons and postgraduate medical college students gathered in entrance of the dean’s workplace and protested over the molestation try on Thursday. They demanded enough safety and an evening patrol group on the hospital premises. CMCH dean A Nirmala met the home surgeons and warranted them that every one their calls for can be fulfilled quickly.
“There’s a CCTV digicam the place the incident occurred, however the digicam will not be working. Likewise, many of the surveillance cameras aren’t performing on the campus. There aren’t sufficient restroom services for home surgeons on the office on account of which we’re compelled to return to our hostel rooms,” a home surgeon stated.
