Thiruvananthapuram: Police have registered a case against a fellow doctor on charges of attempting sexual assault on a female house surgeon working at Nedumangad District Hospital. The case was filed against surgeon K.M. Binu based on the complaint lodged by the female doctor. Following the incident, Binu was taken into police custody from his residence in Kumarpuram around 1 a.m.<\/p>\n

The complainant, a young woman and also a dental postgraduate student, alleged that Binu called her to his private consulting room under the pretext of a medical examination and attempted sexual assault. K.M. Binu joined as a surgeon at Nedumangad Taluk Hospital two months ago.<\/p>\n

On the day of the incident, during a class in the morning, the woman had told the doctor about a health problem involving body swelling. Subsequently, Binu instructed her to come to his private consulting room after lunch for a detailed examination. According to the complaint, it was within this room that Binu allegedly tried to sexually assault her.<\/p>\n

The complainant stated that she experienced inappropriate behavior from the doctor during the examination and strongly resisted the assault attempt before fleeing out of the room to safety. She later reported the matter to the hospital superintendent detailing her experience.<\/p>\n

Considering the seriousness of the complaint, the hospital superintendent informed the police. However, allegations surfaced that the police were initially reluctant to take swift action despite receiving the complaint. It was only around 8 p.m. that the police recorded the woman\u2019s statement and formally registered the case.<\/p>\n

In response to the police\u2019s delayed action, DYFI activists staged a strong protest demanding urgent measures against the doctor and called for a transparent and efficient investigation. They held a demonstration in front of the police station late at night and also organized a blockade protest at the hospital in solidarity.<\/p>\n

The protesters demanded assurance of safety for female doctors and immediate intervention whenever such complaints arise at the workplace.<\/p>\n

Following the intensifying protests, police arrested K.M. Binu around 1 a.m. from his home in Kumarpuram. The allegation of attempted sexual assault against a female doctor who had sought medical treatment for a health issue has caused concern among hospital staff.<\/p>\n

Police have initiated legal proceedings based on the complaint and statement provided by the victim.<\/p>\n
