Ambulance driver and aide accused of molesting patient's wife, leading to his death in Uttar Pradesh
Lucknow: A neurology patient died after an ambulance driver and his aide allegedly molested his wife, forcibly removed his oxygen mask, and threw him out of the vehicle, according to a complaint filed by the victim's wife.
The incident occurred while the woman was transporting her husband from a hospital in Indiranagar, Lucknow, to their home in Siddharth Nagar district on August 29. The couple had hired the ambulance from the Ghazipur (Indiranagar) police station area after being unable to meet the hospital expenses.
During the journey, the driver allegedly coerced the woman to sit in the front seat to avoid police checks. Once seated, the driver and his companion reportedly began molesting her. Despite the victim's protests and her husband's attempts to intervene, the assailants continued their actions.
As the situation escalated, the driver and his aide stopped the ambulance near Chhawani police station, removed the patient's oxygen mask, and threw him out of the vehicle. The woman's brother, who was accompanying them, was held hostage in the driver's cabin.
The assailants allegedly looted Rs 10,000 in cash, the woman's jewelry, and other belongings before fleeing the scene. The woman managed to contact emergency services, and her husband was later admitted to Basti district hospital by a 108 ambulance. He was subsequently referred to the Medical College in Gorakhpur, where he succumbed to his condition.
A case has been registered based on the woman's complaint, confirmed ADCP Jitendra Dubey.
