Three intern doctors of Bhavnagar Medical College were hospitalised after allegedly being assaulted by a group of eight people, including an intern and a senior doctor. The incident reportedly took place late at night when two final-year intern doctors were forcibly taken in two cars from a circle near the medical college to the Hill Drive area, where they were verbally abused and beaten.
According to the complaint submitted to the college dean, the group of eight&mdash;comprising four interns, two senior doctors, and two outsiders&mdash;allegedly forced the victims to use offensive language and assaulted them when they refused or gave incorrect answers to their questions.
The assault reportedly continued until the victims lost consciousness. One of the intern doctors was later brought back to the hostel around 3 am, where another intern was allegedly assaulted and injured. The three injured interns were admitted to Sir T. Hospital for treatment after they reported the incident to the college administration.
Dean of Bhavnagar Medical College, Sushil Jha, confirmed the incident and stated that a meeting of the college&rsquo;s anti-ragging committee will be held on Saturday to decide further action. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to file a police complaint, and a medico-legal case (MLC) has been initiated.
Preliminary information suggests that the assault may have been linked to a dispute regarding the organization of the college convocation. However, the exact motive is yet to be confirmed. The administration has assured strict action based on the committee&rsquo;s findings.
