The Story in Brief
AIIMS has terminated a security guard and filed a police complaint after a video of him allegedly inappropriately touching a female patient went viral. The hospital also imposed a penalty on the private agency that employed him, Times of India reports.
In the video, the guard is seen calling the woman and checking her appointment paper. During the exchange his hand appears to brush against her. The woman later said she initially dismissed it but felt the contact was inappropriate after rewatching the footage.
The Indian Opinion
Viral clips can amplify genuine grievances but also risk trial by internet. This case deserved a formal complaint, which was filed. But let the police and internal inquiry determine intent. The real test is whether AIIMS and other hospitals now enforce clearer protocols for physical contact during interactions, instead of just reacting to outrage.
