In a shocking incident at a private hospital in Bihar, a nurse narrowly escaped a gang-rape attempt after injuring one of the attackers, a doctor, with a blade. The incident took place at the RBS Health Care Centre in Gangapur, Samastipur district, under the Musrighararari police station limits.
According to police reports, the nurse was finishing her duties on Wednesday night when hospital administrator Dr. Sanjay Kumar, along with two associates, Sunil Kumar Gupta and Awadhesh Kumar, attempted to assault her. All three men were reportedly drunk at the time. In a bid to free herself, the nurse slashed Dr. Kumar’s private parts with a blade before fleeing and hiding in a nearby field, from where she called the police.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Sanjay Kumar Pandey praised the nurse’s courage and quick thinking, saying her actions were “praiseworthy.” Police arrived promptly at the scene and arrested all three suspects, including Dr. Kumar. The men had allegedly locked the hospital from the inside and disabled the CCTV cameras before attempting the assault.
Authorities recovered crucial evidence, including the blade used by the nurse, blood-stained clothes, liquor bottles, and mobile phones. Since Bihar is a dry state, the men will also face charges under the state’s prohibition laws. The incident comes just a month after a trainee doctor was raped and murdered in Kolkata, sparking nationwide outrage.
