Navsari Civil Hospital surgeon detained

SURAT: The in-charge civil surgeon of Navsari Civil Hospital and two staff nurses were detained on Tuesday on charges of abetting suicide of a young nurse.
The police also detained her estranged husband and mother-in-law.
Megha Acharya, 28, a staff nurse, had hanged from the ceiling fan at her residence in Vejalpore town. Police had recovered a four-and-a-half-page suicide note from the spot, mentioning the names of seniors whom she accused of tormenting her sexually and mentally for a long time.
Her mother Minaxi Acharya had lodged a complaint against five people including the in-charge civil surgeon, Dr Avinash Dubey, two head nurses — Tara Gamit and Vanita Patel — besides Megha’s husband, Ankit Khambhati and his mother Jayshree.
In her complaint, the mother alleged that her daughter had parted ways with her husband a year ago after the in-laws started demanding dowry and tortured her mentally. She was also facing mental and sexual harassment by her seniors at the workplace, she alleged.
HK Rana, deputy superintendent of police (DySP), Navsari told TOI “We have detained the in-charge civil surgeon, husband of the deceased and mother-in-law. The civil surgeon is accused of sexually and mentally harassing her. The other two hospital staffers named in the FIR are yet to be arrested.”
