MP Ananth Kumar Hegde should be behind bars – Dr P V Bhandary

Udupi: MP Ananth Kumar Hegde should be behind bars for assaulting doctors at the TSS hospital said Dr P V Bhandary renowned Psychiatrist of Udupi. He was speaking at a protest organised by Indian Medical Association (Udupi-Karavali Branch) against the assault on Dr Madhukeshwar, Dr Balakrishna Bhat and other staff of TSS Hospital by Uttara Kannada MP Ananth Kumar. The protest was organised in front of the Clock Tower Udupi here on January 7.

The MP has gone against the values of democracy by physically assaulting a doctor and other medical staff who were on duty. The doctor’s community is in shock as a parliamentarian has assaulted duty doctors and staff at the TSS hospital. Such incidents have been repeating in the state, a house surgeon at Hassan has been assaulted by the relatives of a patient in the wee hours. As per the law, assault on the medical staff on duty is a non-bailable offence. A case has been registered against Ananth Kumar, evidence captured in CCTV has shown the MP assaulting the doctors. The police should arrest Ananth Kumar, he added.

Vice President of IMA Y S Rao. Dr Manoj D’Lima, Dr Vijayendra Rao and others were present.

  1. This will be his last term as MP I am sure. BJP will do well to apologise to those doctors and the general public. They need to expel him from the party and deny any future party tickets.
