In a shocking turn of events, Dr. Abhishek Mahajan, a Final Year Post Graduate Student (Batch 2022) of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), has been expelled for assaulting a pregnant woman in the hospital’s labour room.
The expulsion follows a complaint filed by the victim’s husband, Mrinal Ali, which prompted authorities at GMCH to launch an inquiry committee to investigate the incident thoroughly.
Led by Dr. B P Das and comprising Dr. Kanakeswar Bhuyan, Dr. Pankaj Adhicari, and Dr. Pradip Kr Das, the committee was tasked with examining the allegations against Dr. Mahajan.
Based on the report submitted by the inquiry committee and Dr. Mahajan’s confession regarding the assault, it has been determined that he assaulted the pregnant woman in the hospital’s labour room on the morning of April 18, 2024.
This expulsion underscores GMCH’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of patients and maintaining the highest standards of medical ethics and professionalism. Such actions serve as a stern reminder of the consequences of misconduct within the medical profession.
