MARGHERITA: A shocking incident unfolded outside Margherita FRU/Civil Hospital on Thursday morning when a mob brutally assaulted Dr. Selix Alam, a gynaecologist posted at the hospital. The attack reportedly stemmed from a family dispute.
As per sources, the mob accused Dr. Alam of eloping with a Hindu female employee of the hospital, who hails from Jagun, several months ago. The woman’s family alleged that he had been blackmailing both her and her relatives, which led to the violent confrontation.
Upon receiving reports of the attack, Margherita police rushed to the scene and brought the situation under control. Both Dr. Alam and the woman were taken to Margherita Police Station for further inquiry.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the matter, and further details are awaited.
Earlier last year, in a disturbing incident, an animal activist and his female associate had been manhandled and misbehaved by a group of residents in the Lachit Nagar area. The attack had occurred while they had been attempting to rescue a dog from brutal abuse.
According to the animal activist, he and his associate had received information about a stray dog being tied up and beaten by locals. When they had arrived at the scene, they had been heckled and misbehaved by the group.
