A woman doctor assaulted by Shiv Sena corporator Rakesh Mhatre has quit. Srushti Baviskar’s resignation comes a day after her colleague Vaibhav Salunkhe, who was slapped by the corporator, quit his job and left the city.
“I have resigned because there is a lot of fear. Goons are watching us, and I have already left the city. They are very dangerous people. The other doctors may continue working there, but I cannot. I will not go back there again,” Salunkhe had said.
KDMC (Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation) Chief Medical Officer Dr. Deepa Shukla, however, said doctors Vaibhav Salunkhe and Srushti Baviskar have not submitted their resignations.
Both doctors were appointed at the hospital through a third-party hiring agency. They have not submitted their resignations to this parent agency either. “They are absent from their duties without notice,” she added.
Mhatre had carried out the assault on a group of medical staff at Dombivli’s Shastri Nagar Hospital, run by the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation.
