THE GANESH Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College (GSVM) administration has constituted an internal committee to probe involvement of medicos in the clash with a tea-stall owner at Motijheel on January 9.
Following the incident, four medicos were arrested by the Nazirabad police and a case against 10 students was registered.
However, they were granted bail by the court due to up-coming practical exams.
The college sources said that the medicos were being entangled this time for their deed.
“We have identified the tea-stall owner with a criminal bent of mind and the mob he had gathered in his support on Monday night points out to a nexus between the local police and the shop-owner,” said the source.
This time, the GSVM college staff and the students appeared unanimous in categorically denying criminal involvement of any medico in the incident though unlike previous occasions.
A professor said, “We have ample evidence that the medicos were shot with country-made pistol by the tea-stall owner and it is astonishing that police are not probing that angle.”
However, a police source said that the pellet injuries being shown by the medicos were self-inflicted and the medicos were adept to it.
Notably, the Banarsi Tea Stall is a prominent shop at Motijheel crossing and many times huge traffic jams were witnessed due to incongruent parking in front of the shop.
The Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical Collegeadministration also appeared annoyed over the way medicos were dealt by the police following the incident.
“Four arrested medicos were given only two blankets at night and were thrashed by the police as if they were professional criminals,” said a professor who is in the internal inquiry team of the GSVM college, set up to probe th ematter internally.
Meanwhile, the Nazirabad police said that they had reacted according to the behavior of the medicos and there was no information of any firing on the night of incident.
