As per the complaint lodged by JDA, Dr Arvind Ghanghoria threatened JDA president Dr Shashank Singh Baghel and Dr Pawan with the allegations of spreading false information in media about delay in sample testing of resident doctors.
“Recently, media had published news about pending reports of some residents. Wife of Dr Arvind Ghanghoria, Dr Shikha Ghanghoria (Professor in Pathology Department) blamed Dr Shashank for the same and she didn’t listen to him when he tried to confront her. Later, Dr Arvind Ghanghoria also blamed Dr Shashank and JDA to disrepute Dr Shikha and threatened him,” JDA mentioned in its complaint.
