Woman Dies After Alleged Sexual Assault at Panipat Civil Hospital CT Scan CentrePreviousNext

A 57-58-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted by a security guard at the CT scan centre of Panipat Civil Hospital, Haryana. She was later referred to PGIMS Rohtak for treatment due to critical health conditions and died two days after the incident. The accused guard, employed by a private firm under a public-private partnership, has been arrested and his services terminated. Authorities have initiated investigations into procedural lapses, including the guard's unauthorized presence in the CT console room and absence of a female attendant during the scan.
