‘Sexual abuse’ by a doctor: AAP leaders protest outside LG House

A delegation of women leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) protested outside Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena’s residence on Sunday, demanding justice for a woman doctor who was allegedly sexually abused by the medical superintendent of a government hospital.

AAP alleged that the LG “refused” to meet the delegation led by Delhi Deputy Speaker Rakhi Birla even after they waited for hours outside Raj Niwas.

Ms Birla said when they went to Raj Niwas, they were told by some police officials that they could not meet him.

“Instead of listening to us and giving us an assurance, they sent police officers to us. If elected representatives are not heard, one can imagine the fate of an ordinary woman,” said Ms. Birla.

Earlier, AAP had claimed that the doctor was transferred when she complained about the alleged incident and accused Mr Saxena of inaction, saying the complaint was lodged in October last year.

Although Raj Niwas did not comment, an official reiterated that the doctor had been given the post of “her choice” and that the file recommending the transfer of the accused was sent to the CM-led National Capital Civil Service last November Authority has not yet made a decision on this.
