In a dramatic arrest operation, the Dehradun police arrested a man accused of molesting a female doctor at AIIMS Rishikesh. The arrest, marked by an unusual approach, saw police driving their vehicle (Jeep) in a very Dabangg movie style barging up to the fourth floor of the hospital which was an Emergency ward. The incident was captured in camera and was shared on social media.
According to media reports, the incident began when the police received information about the whereabouts of the accused, who had been evading arrest. To apprehend the accused, the Dehradun police decided to take an unconventional route. They drove their vehicle up the ramps of the hospital, reaching the fourth floor where the emergency ward is located as shown in the viral video.
In the video the vehicle's entry into the emergency ward created chaos as hospital staff scrambled to clear the way. Patients' beds and stretchers had to be hastily moved aside to allow the police vehicle to pass. Despite the commotion, the police did not stop, ensuring they reached their target without delay.
The accused identified as Satish Kumar is a Nursing officer at AIIMS Rishikesh, who had sent obscene MMS to a female doctor at the hospital.
