Adding one more to the book of assaults, a renowned gynecologist in Haridwar was beaten blue & black giving her a facial scar. All this happened when she declared an IUD, and is it her fault?

Doctors are being assaulted and abused with no one to hear their plea. The gynecologist assaulted was Dr Manpreet Kaur who is running a nursing home ( Preet Nursing Home ) at Haridwar since last 15 years along with her husband Dr Jaspreet Singh, an ENT surgeon.

She is a well experienced senior professional who has contributed a lot to the society playing a major role in her locality. 2 days ago a pregnant woman was brought in by her husband and family, after examining the lady she declared an IUD following which she was brutally assaulted in her chamber by husband of patient. Is it the doctor’s fault or the negligence of the patient’s family that led to the IUD.

Immediately after the assault, IMA Haridwar was notified. They immediately swung into action and the culprit was arrested under sections 323, 326, 504, 506, 354.

After all the petitions and protests by doctors, will government play a role and make strict rules and policies to prevent assault on doctors. Yet this question has remained unanswered?
