SINDRI: A mentally challenged and speech-impaired woman, who was admitted to the medicine ward of Shaheed Nirmal Mahto Medical College and Hospital (SNMMCH) in Dhanbad was allegedly raped by an ambulance driver with the help of a tea joint owner on late Sunday night.
The incident has put a question mark over the safety of female patients at the government-run healthcare centre.
While the hospital staff caught hold of the tea shop owner, Kishun, and has been handed over to police, the ambulance driver identified as one Sanjay Das is said to be absconding.
Following the incident, the SNMMCH management has constituted a five-member committee consisting of heads of medicine, gynaecology, radiology, clinical pathology and emergency medicine departments to probe the incident and identify the persons responsible for allowing outsiders to enter the female ward in the dead of the night.
