Doctor accused of sexual assault; college says no complaint lodged
The Indian Nursing Council (INC) is conducting an inquiry into a case of an alleged sexual assault of a nursing student of a city-based college.
Members of the INC spoke to several students as part of the inquiry on Monday.
While students of the School of Nursing, CSI Hospital, have alleged that a doctor of the hospital sexually assaulted a student, the management says that no formal complaint has been lodged by the students with the Internal Complaints Committee of the college.
The students also alleged that there have been other types of harassment by the college where a female student was suspended for speaking to a male hospital staff.
The students, however, stated that they had brought up the issue with the principal as well as the college management who did not look at their request.
A student of the college said that the students were asked to pay Rs. 10,000 for books and uniforms and were not given any receipts. She also said the condition of the hostel was deplorable.
The services of a senior nursing tutor who helped students voice out their concern was terminated on Monday, they said.
The Karnataka Nursing Council too visited the college last week to submit a fact finding report.
