Rishikesh: In a dramatic filmy scene, the police took extraordinary measures to arrest a nursing officer accused of sexually harassing a female doctor at AIIMS Rishikesh. The incident, similar to scenes from an action movie, unfolded as police drove a vehicle into the crowded emergency ward of the hospital on Tuesday.
The 26-second viral clip captured the startling sight of the police car maneuvering through the bustling ward, with patients on either side. Security personnel could be seen hastily clearing a path for the vehicle, even displacing stretchers to make way for its passage.
According to officials, the accused nursing officer, Satish Kumar, stands accused of inappropriate behavior towards a woman doctor within an operating theatre at the renowned healthcare institution. Additionally, Kumar allegedly sent lewd text messages to the doctor in question, as confirmed by Shankar Singh Bisht, a police officer from Rishikesh.
The incident incited fury among the hospital's medical professionals resulting in them staging a strike and assembling outside the dean's office, demanding immediate action against the offender. Not satisfied with Kumar's suspension, the protesting doctors insisted on his termination from employment.

RCB secure IPL playoff berth with 23-run win against Punjab Kings
Dharamsala (PTI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru rode on fluent half-centuries from Virat Kohli and Venkatesh Iyer, along with a decisive opening spell from pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, to thrash Punjab Kings by 23 runs and seal a playoff berth in the IPL here on Sunday.
Kohli (58 off 37 balls), Iyer (73 not out off 40 balls) and Devdutt Padikkal (45) produced impactful knocks as RCB piled up 222 for 4 in 20 overs.
Bhuvneshwar (2/38) then removed the dangerous Punjab Kings opening pair of Priyansh Arya (0) and Prabhsimran Singh (2) early to all but shut the door on the opposition, who eventually managed 199 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs.
Pacer Rasikh Salam (3/36) compounded Punjab Kings' misery by dismissing skipper Shreyas Iyer (1) in the fourth over as the hosts slumped to 19 for 3.
Late-order batters Shashank Singh (56 off 27 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (37 off 25 balls) attempted to revive the innings with a counter-attacking effort, but the towering RCB total ultimately proved far beyond PBKS' reach.
Earlier, Kohli stitched together a 76-run stand with Devdutt for the second wicket to lay the foundation before adding another 60 runs with Venkatesh for the third wicket as table-toppers RCB delivered yet another authoritative batting display.
Brief Scores:
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 222 for 4 in 20 overs (Virat Kohli 58, Devdutt Padikkal 45, Venkatesh Iyer 73 not out; Harpreet Brar 2/35).
Punjab Kings: 199 for 8 in 20 overs (Cooper Connolly 37, Suryansh Shedge 35, Marcus Stoinis 37, Shashank Singh 56; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/38, Rasikh Salam 3/36).
