KGMU: MBBS intern booked for allegedly assaulting, sexually harassing junior
Lucknow: The prestigious King George's Medical University (KGMU) has found itself surrounded by controversies after an MBBS intern was booked for touching a female student inappropriately and assaulting and harassing other junior students in the Central Library of the University.
The alleged incident took place on November 12 (Tuesday) around 09:40 pm inside the central library study hall when a group of junior students were inside the hall. An MBBS intern of 2012 batch allegedly appeared there only to create a nuisance and started harassing the entire group of junior students by throwing and tossing away their belonging. The MBBS intern allegedly misbehaved and assaulted the juniors.
Prominently, among the group was female medico of 2014 batch, who alleged that she was touched inappropriately with wrong intentions after she refused to speak to the MBBS intern, who had earlier made attempts to talk to her.
