Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Two medical interns of Birsa Munda Medical College, Shahdol, have been suspended for two months for manhandling a senior doctor in labour room.
Two intern doctors had attacked a lady doctor in the labour room in Birsa Munda Medical College hospital on the intervening night of September 13 and September 14. The video had gone viral showing the attack.
The victim Dr Shivani Lakhiya had filed a written complaint against the intern doctors Shanu Agarwal and Yogita Tyagi. The reason behind the clash was believed to be a tussle about duty hours, doctors said.
