IMA state president refutes allegation

However, IMA Jharkhand president Dr AK Singh refuted the charges and said that Dr Mritunjay Singh has a habit of harassing doctors. “I don’t know how he became vice-president of the Jamshedpur chapter while he is posted 400 km away in Palamu and earlier in Pakur. Even the civil surgeon of Palamu has expressed a crisis of doctors, but he is sitting in Jamshedpur; that is a matter of probe,” said Dr Singh.

The IMA state president said he does not know what grudge Dr Mritunjay Singh has against senior doctor Dr Renuka Choudhary, who retired from service 10-12 years ago. Earlier, he got senior medical officer Dr AK Lal of Jamshedpur terminated on a false charge. However, the high court reinstated Dr Lal.
