Agartala, May 22 (UNI) The Chief Medical Officer of South Tripura district has lodged an FIR against the medical officer in-charge of Birchandramanu primary health centre Dr Ajoy Biswas for illegally aborting in hospital taking money after he was caught by health minister Sudip Roybarman today.
The health minister told media persons that he accompanied by the director and secretary health services raided the hospital based on secrete information that the accused doctor has been doing the same practice for long time and today, the doctor was caught when aborting the baby of a seven months carrying mother.
“Last night, I got the information from a source and this morning I re-confirmed that the patient is going for abortion. It was a deal of Rs 50,000 with the doctor. I called up the officials to accompany me but did not tell them the exact destination and purpose of visit. We straightway went inside the labour room and caught Dr Biswas red handed,” Roybarman said.
