Bihar nurse gangraped, murdered by hospital staff; body found in ambulance

Bihar,Aug 13 :  A nurse was gangraped and murdered by a doctor and compounders of a private nursing home where she worked in Bihar’s East Champaran district. The victim worked at Janki Sewa Sadan Nursing Home in Motihari.

The accused doctor and other staff are absconding while police have arrested a compounder.

The victim’s mother has registered an FIR against Dr Jaiprakash Das and five others in the case. The police have sealed the nursing home.

The 30-year-old victim was a widow and had a four-year-old child. According to the victim’s mother, Mantosh Kumar used to manage the nursing home along with Dr Jaiprakash Das.

“After her husband’s demise, my daughter stayed with me. Seeing our condition, Jayprakash and Mantosh Kumar proposed that I send my daughter to their clinic, where she could earn some money and learn new skills,” said the victim’s mother.

She added, “Since she was looking for work, my daughter agreed and went to work there. However, upon returning from there, she refused to go back. When questioned, she explained that the activities of doctor and others were suspicious and had also harassed her. Subsequently, she didn’t return to that place. A few days later, Jaiprakash and Mantosh Kumar came to my house, apologised, and asked her to return to work, assuring her of better conditions and pay.”

The mother of the victim said that her daughter went to the nursing home on August 8 and did not return.

“Later, Jayprakash informed us that her health was deteriorating, and she was in Muzaffarpur. However, we did not find her in the hospital he mentioned. After extensive searching, we found my daughter’s body in an ambulance.”

Based on her mother’s statement, police filed a case against five individuals, including the doctor. One person has been arrested in connection with the case.

“A search is ongoing for the remaining suspects. The team is active, and all the accused in the case will be arrested soon,” said Motihari SP.
