Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJune 14, 2020

The Civil Society Women’s Organization (CSWO) has demanded that bail should not be granted to the doctor, who was arrested for allegedly molesting two women at NEIGRIHMS hospital recently.

“(We) condemn the molestation of two women by Dr Jhutan Chaudhuri, in NEIGRIHMS, Shillong and we demand that no bail should be granted to this person who has molested two young women, took advantage of their trust on a doctor, who had faith in examining them…as allowing bail to molester, would put fear on women, who should be protected from such perpetrators,” CSWO president Agnes Kharshiing said in a statement issued on Sunday.

She said his acts has shamed the Institution, profession, and he has abuse his position and even took one of the patient for examining in a room which is used by doctors for consulting among the doctors in NEIGRIHMS. This doctor examined both patients twice on that day to fulfill his lust. 

Kharshiing also demanded that the investigation Officer should be provided the CCTV footages in NEIGRIHMS. 

“This  doctor should also be booked under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989, so that such perpetrators cannot exploit and take advantage, of our women,” she further stated.  

She said the CSWO has met the victims, and their statement is shocking and factual. 

According to her, the photograph of the doctor should also be uploaded in case there are more such victims. 

“If anyone obstructs the law in this case, police should book them too as women are to be protected and not molested. Public have faith on Doctors and anyone who abuse their position, they do not deserve the profession,” Kharshiing said.
