Kozhikode: The survivor in the ICU sexual assault incident at Kozhikode Medical College has decided to move court against a gynaecologist who conducted her medical examination.Â
Earlier, the Kozhikode Assistant Commissioner dismissed the survivor's claim that the gynaecologist had omitted crucial information during the medical examination following the incident. In a written reply to the complainant, the officials informed they wouldn't be taking action against the doctor. Â
The woman stated that she intends to pursue legal action after receiving a full copy of the investigation report. She further claimed that some had tried to hide the truth using their influence and power.
The survivor was sexually assaulted by attendant MK Saseendran at the ICU on March 18 after she had undergone thyroid surgery. Following the incident, she was subjected to a medical examination in the presence of Dr. Preetha KV. Later, the survivor, in a complaint filed before the Commissioner, alleged that the doctor overlooked crucial information in her report.Â
Based on her complaint, Medical College Assistant Commissioner K. Sudharshan conducted a probe and submitted a report. The officer also collected the statements of Dr. Preetha, Junior Doctor, Nurse and others.Â
