AIIMS, Delhi has terminated security guard Dhananjay Singh and filed a police complaint after a viral video showed him allegedly inappropriately touching a female patient. The hospital also penalised the private agency that employed him. In the clip, the guard appears to brush his hand against the woman while checking her appointment slip. The woman later said she initially felt nothing but reconsidered after watching the footage again. AIIMS stated it has a 'zero-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment' and has initiated legal proceedings. Republic World named the guard as Dhananjay Singh, while the Times of India quoted the woman's evolving account. The guard's services were terminated immediately after the video surfaced online.
