Woman doc has argument with flat residents. Is she justified in going to cops?

Hyderabad: Days after the central government issued an ordinance outlawing any kind of violence, verbal or physical, against doctors, a woman doctor working at Gandhi Hospital went to the police complaning that she was shouted at by the residents of an apartment complex at Vanasthalipuram.

According to the Vanasthalipuram police, the complainant, Dr Snigdha, went to her brother’s flat at an apartment complex at Mansoorabad on April 22 to collect her luggage. But the residents of the apartment complex allegedly picked up a quarrel with her and abused her as they didn't want any outsider in their building.

The police said the woman complained that the apartment residents threatened with dire consequences.

So on Friday, she gave a complaint seeking action against the apartment residents, and a case has been registered for the probe, the police added.

On Friday, the doctor also brought the issue to the notice of health minister Etala Rajender.
