Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) Bokaro district vice-president Pankaj Jaiswal and his associate Kanhaiya Jaiswal had allegedly beaten up a medical officer on Saturday and some nurses for denying them a second-time blood pressure check-up at Jainamore Referral Hospital.

An FIR has been registered with Jainamore police station by the victim, Dr Ravi Ranjan, and nurses against both the leaders.

Jharkhand Health Service Association (JHSA) and Indian Medical Association’s (IMA) district chapter delegations had met the superintendent of police (in charge) Sujata Kumari Veenapani and requested her for taking quick action against the assaulters so that doctors and health staffers could do their duties without having to deal with fear in this emergency situation.

Around 7.30 pm on Saturday the incident surfaced. Rattled by the incident, the doctors and nursing staffers of the hospital stopped their duty and sat on a dharna on the gate of the hospital, demanding the arrest of the JMM leaders.

Hearing the incident, deputy superintendent of police (headquarter), Satish Chandra Jha, BDO Shashibhushan Sharma and inspector Md Rustam reached the spot. After filing an FIR, the doctors and nurses resumed the duty.

JMM district president Hiralal Majhi, however, denied the charge and said only a heated discussion had taken place.

IMA secretary Dr Srivastava in her statement says, “In view of such pandemic occurrence, the doctors do not want to disturb the health services but our safety is, of course, a matter of concern and should not be taken lightly.”
