Police drove an SUV inside the AIIMS Rishikesh triage area in May 2024 to arrest a suspended nursing officer, Satish Kumar, who was accused of sexually harassing a junior resident doctor.
The incident sparked major online debate and local protests. Dehradun police and hospital administration defended the unusual action on The Indian Express, stating it was an emergency measure to safely extract the accused and prevent potential mob lynching amidst agitated protesting doctors.
