Security Lapses at Medical College Spark Outrage

Three unidentified men allegedly stalked and passed lewd remarks at two junior women doctors from Maharaja Agrasen Medical College. The incident, which took place in Hisar's Agroha, led to heightened security concerns and a police investigation, amid broader protests over a separate case of alleged rape and murder in Kolkata.

Three unidentified men were booked for allegedly stalking and passing lewd remarks at two junior women doctors of Maharaja Agrasen Medical College in Hisar's Agroha, police reported on Tuesday.

The incident occurred on the evening of August 23 when the doctors were walking to their hostel. Despite ignoring the men, the students were followed and only found relief when they raised an alarm, prompting hospital security guards to intervene, causing the suspects to flee.

Following the incident, the college informed the police, who have since registered a case under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Although initial CCTV footage was unclear, police are reviewing other sources and questioning locals to locate the culprits. This has led to increased security measures at the hospital and hostel, as trainee women doctors express concerns about their safety. The event coincides with widespread protests over the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata.
