The authorities at the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, have decided to terminate the services of M.M. Saseendran, an employee who was accused of sexually abusing a female patient in the intensive care unit around two months ago.
Devarajan E., Principal-in-Charge, told The Hindu that an order to that effect had been forwarded to the hospital superintendent. Saseendran had been under suspension ever since his arrest after the incident was reported.
At the same time, the hospital authorities decided to reinstate five employees who were under suspension for allegedly threatening the patient in favour of the accused. Their suspension was revoked by outgoing Principal E.V. Gopi on the day of his retirement.
