- Suicide attempt by AIIMS doc
Bhopal: The case of Dr. Rashmi Verma, an assistant professor at AIIMS Bhopal, who attempted suicide, has taken a new turn. The Hindu Utsav Samiti and Sanskriti Bachao Manch have leveled serious allegations against the AIIMS administration and the former Head of the Trauma and Emergency Department, Dr. Mohammad Yunus. The organizations argue that merely removing him from his post is not enough; a criminal case should be registered against Dr. Yunus for allegedly harassing the female doctor and driving her to attempt suicide.
The committee’s president, Chandrashekhar Tiwari, alleged that Dr. Rashmi Verma was being mentally harassed by Dr. Yunus. He claimed that this pressure and harassment led her to attempt suicide. Tiwari further claimed that Dr. Yunus has a history of controversies and faced serious allegations at the Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (IGRIMS) in Shillong before joining AIIMS Bhopal.
Dr. Rashmi Verma attempted suicide by taking a high dose of anesthesia. She was rushed to AIIMS in time, where she is still receiving treatment. According to doctors, her condition remains critical, and she is fighting for her life.
Following this incident, the AIIMS management removed Dr. Mohammad Yunus from his post. However, the Hindu Utsav Samiti says this action is insufficient. The organization has demanded a fair criminal investigation into the entire matter and that strict legal action be taken against the person responsible.
