Amid outrage over trainee doctor’s rape and murder in RG Kar hospital, a nurse at a government-run hospital in Birbhum district was allegedly molested by a male patient.

The incident took place when the nurse was attending to the patient, he touched her inappropriately and used offensive language.

Alarmed by the incident, the hospital authorities immediately contacted the police, who responded swiftly and arrested the accused.

A formal complaint has been lodged with the Ilambazar Police Station, and a probe is underway.

"A male patient was brought in during the night shift with a fever complaint. As advised by the doctors, I was preparing to administer saline when he misbehaved. He touched me and used foul language. We feel unsafe working here due to the lack of proper security. How could a patient act this way?," the nurse recounted.

Dr. Masidul Hasan, who was also on duty at the hospital, provided further details: "At around 8:30 pm, a patient named Abbas Uddin came to the hospital from Chotochak village with a fever."

"After some clinical examinations, we recommended injections and IV fluids. When the nurse went to administer the saline, the patient acted violently and molested her. Despite requests for cooperation from the patient's family, the behavior continued. We reported the incident to the police and the authorities, and if no action is taken, we may consider a cease-work," he added.
