The father of one of the two youths, who was thrashed and forced to do sit-ups by the doctors and medicos of VIMSAR, on Wednesday, lodged a complaint with the Odisha Human Rights Commission (OHRC) in Bhubaneswar.
Thana Sundar Behera, father of one of the victim’s Mukesh Behera, alleged that the assaul by doctors, who also forced his son to do sit-ups, have brought humiliation for his family.
Behera expressed resentment alleging that despite concrete evidence, no action was taken against the accused medicos and Assistant Professor Suryakant Patjoshi, who are still moving scot-free.
Demanding justice for his son and his brother-in-law Tularam Rout’s son, who was also allegedly thrashed by the medicos, Behera demanded re-investigation of the case.
“The medical students who thrashed my son with iron rods are roaming free. But ironically, police have detained my son,” said Rout.
Earlier, Health Minister Naba Das on Tuesday said that a senior official of the Health Department was probing the incident and action would be taken only after the submission of an investigation report.
Police have also issued notice to the VIMSAR authorities to submit the CCTV footages of the fateful. Range SP Himanshu Lal had assured quick and impartial investigation into the case, adding that evidence was being gathered and action would be taken as per law.
