Kathmandu, April 16
Metropolitan Police Office, Ranipokhari, has initiated action against erring police personnel, including Deputy Superintendent of Police Umesh Lamsal, head of Maharajgunj-based Metropolitan Police Circle, for allegedly thrashing three doctors who were returning from duty.
The cops had assaulted doctors near Kanti Children’s Hospital, Maharajgunj, at around 8:15 pm yesterday. DSP Lamsal was leading a team of five police personnel during a regular police patrol when the incident occurred.
Following the incident, DSP Lamsal has been relieved of his responsibilities as the MPC head and recalled to MPO, Ranipokhari, along with five other police personnel who baton- charged doctors.
The MPO has also formed a probe committee led by Senior Superintendent of Police Kiran Bajracharya to investigate the case. Other members of the panel are Superintendent of Police Mukesh Singh and DSP Hobindra Bogati.
Shambhu Khanal and Tej Prakash, third year residents of internal medicine at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, and Bikas Shah, a pediatrician at Kanti Children’s Hospital, were beaten up even though they showed their identity cards to police personnel.
