K.A.P. Viswanatham Medical College, which controls Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital, has sent a report to the State government on the suicide attempt made by Resident Medical Officer (in-charge) N. Nehru recently.
The report has been sent to the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) for further action.
Sources told The Hindu that information relating to his duties and responsibilities, his response to them, attempt made by him to end life, admission to hospital for treatment, the reasons cited by him for attempting suicide, and the stand of management on the issue were all covered in the report.
Sources said soon after the suicide attempt, Mr. Nehru had been relieved from the post of the RMO. He was on medical leave for a month, and a new RMO had been appointed. Mr. Nehru took a heavy dose of sleeping pills at his house at Sangilandapuram on April 6. He had also alleged that he got “repeated calls” from personal assistants of various Ministers asking him to take steps for providing special treatment to some patients.
