A senior police officer said that the complainant is currently in the process of taking a decision on filing a First Information Report after the conclusion of the investigation by the committee constituted by the hospital.
According to the hospital spokesperson, “We received a complaint of misbehaviour and harassment last week and immediately convened a meeting of the internal committee under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act), as well as an Anti-Ragging Committee.
