A woman doctor, posted with a government hospital in Jabalpur, has reportedly resigned after alleging that her complaint of some influential politicians abusing and misbehaving with her went unheeded.


 

The doctor's resignation letter, as yet unverified, has gone viral on social media along with claims that she is the relative of a former Madhya Pradesh chief minister. In the resignation letter being attributed to her, the doctor has stated that she was resigning as provisions of the Doctors' Protection Act were not invoked in her case. The letter also mentions the abusive language she was allegedly subjected to.

The doctor could not be contacted despite repeated attempts. Omti police station in-charge Arvind Choube said that the woman doctor had filed a complaint against unidentified persons on February 7. The police official said that two persons had also lodged complaints against the doctor, adding that all three complaints were being currently probed. Dr M M Agrawal, chief health and medical officer of the hospital, said he was unaware of the doctor's resignation. Meanwhile, the Leader of the Opposition in state Assembly, Ajay Singh, claimed that BJP goons were threatening the woman doctor, adding that her resignation was a "slap on the face" of the state government.
