Why no action taken against health official for sexually harassing lady doctor: AAP’s Sanjay Singh asks LG

Sunday, 13 October 2024 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday alleged that no action has been taken against a health official who is accused of sexually harassing a lady doctor in a Delhi government hospital.

AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, in a press conference, questioned Lt Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena why no action was taken against the accused officer even though allegations against him were found to be correct.

Singh said the woman doctor filed her complaint against the medical superintendent of the hospital in October 2023. After a delay of four months, a probe was started by an internal committee in March 2024, he claimed.

"The internal committee in its probe found that the woman doctor's allegations against the officer were correct, yet no action was taken against him," he claimed further.

The AAP leader demanded action against the health secretary of Delhi government and arrest of the accused officer.

Singh shared a heartbreaking incident from a Delhi Hospital. He stated, “For the past one and a half years, a female doctor in Delhi has been subjected to sexual harassment, and despite repeated complaints, no action has been taken against the Medical Superintendent (MS) responsible. Instead, an investigation has been launched against the victim.”

Highlighting how shocking it is, he said that perhaps this is why PM Modi and the BJP  have given the LG the authority to transfer, post, and take action, so that those who harass women can be protected. This is exactly what Delhi's LG is doing.
