Doctor couple booked for contractor’s death
Hisar, March 1 The protest continued for more than four hours. The protesters, including family members of the deceased and representatives of various organisations, raised slogans against the doctor couple and the local administration. They also burnt an effigy of the doctors. Senior police and administrative officials tried to placate the protesters, but to no avail. They lifted the blockade only after being assured of appropriate action against those found guilty in the matter. A case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder has been registered against J.P. Burman, his wife Renu Burman, one Vinay Sharma and certain other unidentified persons. Those named in the FIR have been booked under Section 304 of the IPC. Sanjay, a son of the deceased, said his father was engaged for some construction work at the nursing home being run by the aforesaid doctor couple. “However, they were not paying his dues,” he alleged. His father had been called by the doctor in the name of making his payment, he added. “My father went to the nursing home yesterday morning. When he did not return for a long time, I went looking for him along with my friends. On reaching the nursing home, we saw the doctor, his wife and other aides beating up my father. We took him to a private hospital, where he was declared dead,” he said. The doctor has reportedly refuted the allegations levelled against him and his wife. SSP Arshinder Singh Chawla said appropriate action would be taken in the case after receiving the post-mortem report and examining other medico-legal aspects. He said the protest had been videographed to facilitate legal action. Meanwhile, the police has also registered a case against the mob for blocking the national highway, thus causing inconvenience to a large number of commuters and other residents.
