Indore : Dr Hemant Girwal, the first-year PG resident at MY Hospital who had been missing for the past two days was found at near Ramghat under Mahakal police station of Ujjain on Sunday night. “We were alerted by Sanyogitaganj police station that the mobile phone of Dr Hemant was switched on for a few minutes and the location was found to be near Ramghat. Based on the information a team was rushed to the spot and the doctor was found. He has been brought to the police station but is not in the state to speak. Sanyogitaganj police team is on its way to take him back,” Mahakal police station in-charge Ajay Verma told TOI. Dr Hemant in the Orthopaedics department of the Medical College had gone missing on Friday afternoon after appearing before a committee to probe some allegations levelled against him by a female doctor. His phone was switched off around 5:00 pm after which he went missing. 

Dr Girwal was on Thursday posted in operation theatre 7 and had gone to operation theatre 2 for some work when he bumped into a senior female doctor, who filed a complaint against him. The resident doctors are now demanding the removal of the female doctor who had accused Dr Girwal, fuelling the controversy. On Saturday, the situation escalated as resident doctors staged a significant protest within the hospital premises, which nearly resulted in a physical alterca- tion with senior doctors. The Resident Doctors’Association (RDA) remains firm in their demand for action against the female doctor, while the Medical Teachers’Association has come forward to oppose the behaviour of the protesting residents. In response to the escalating situation, the MGM medical college dean, Sanjay Dixit, said, "A five-member investigation team headed by Dr Sumitra Yadav has been constituted to look into the matter.

It has come to the fore that the doctor's mobile phone was switched on for a brief  moment and the last location was found to be in Kshipra, based on which police are trying to look for him." Sanyogitaganj police station in-charge, Satish Patel had earlier sent a team there after reports that Dr Girwal might be in Simrol but he was not found there.
