Doctors Seek Presidential Inquiry into Jantar Mantar Events and Wangchuk Hospitalisation
Resident doctors' associations from AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital have appealed to President Droupadi Murmu for an independent, time-bound inquiry into the July 19 events at Jantar Mantar, where police used force against protesters. They raised concerns over reports that activist Sonam Wangchuk was not allowed to leave Safdarjung Hospital despite seeking Leave Against Medical Advice, highlighting issues of patient autonomy, medical ethics, and constitutional rights. The doctors also criticized police personnel allegedly concealing their identities, calling for transparency and accountability.
