Haryana Medical College Interns Allegedly Harassed, Suspect Detained

Two female MBBS interns said they were sexually harassed in separate incidents that took place on the campus of a medical college in Haryana last week. The allegations were conveyed to a senior officer at the Khanpur Kalan Women Police Station, who confirmed the complaints over a telephone interview.

Police officials from the Khanpur Kalan station responded swiftly, launching an investigation into the reported assaults. Within days, they identified a suspect linked to the incidents and placed the individual in custody. The arrest was presented as a step toward ensuring accountability and safeguarding the welfare of students on the college grounds.

The detained person has been booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code that address sexual harassment and assault. While details of the evidence remain under investigation, authorities emphasized that the case will proceed through the legal system, and that the victims’ statements will be recorded formally.

The events have reignited discussions about safety measures for women pursuing medical education in India. Educational institutions across the country have faced scrutiny over campus security, prompting calls for stricter protocols, better reporting mechanisms, and heightened awareness among staff and students.

As the probe continues, the police have urged any other individuals with information about the incidents to come forward. No official comment from the college administration has been released publicly, and the matter remains under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement and the judicial process.
