Munger : Dr. Kumar Shanu of Sadar government hospital in Munger was allegedly assaulted by BJP MLA Pranav Kumar. Dr. Shanu alleged that the MLA threatened him with dire consequences and tried to strangulate him. According to Dr. Shanu “A neuro case came to the emergency ward and I referred it to the higher centre for better treatment. The patient’s kin asked me to talk to the MLA which I refused. Then they asked my name, and I told them that revealing my name is not required here. I did my job. After a few minutes, MLA Pranav Kumar, along with his two bodyguards and supporters, reached the hospital and barged into the emergency ward. They have held my neck in a bid to strangulate me. He threatened me with dire consequences. The hospital has a shortage of doctors. I was on duty. I became frightened after the incident. What is my fault? There is no medicine to treat neuro patients and hence I referred him. I cannot do the job in such scary circumstances. ” A video in this regard went viral on social media where the verbal spat between the doctor and MLA was taking place inside the emergency ward.
