The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) has demanded an immediate inquiry into an alleged incident of misconduct by a doctor at the university's Health Centre. The union claims that a student named Aditya faced threats and intimidation after questioning the medicines prescribed to his friend.
According to JNUSU, the doctor allegedly threatened Aditya with rustication and behaved aggressively when he tried to record the incident on his phone. The union said the doctor attempted to snatch the phone and chased the student inside the premises, creating panic.
JNUSU condemned the incident, asserting students' democratic right to question negligence without fear. It demanded strict action against the doctor, protection for complainants, and a transparent grievance redressal mechanism at the Health Centre.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is not the first time JNU's Health Centre has faced allegations of insensitivity. In 2023, a similar complaint about rude behaviour led to a show-cause notice but no systemic reform. The key question is whether the administration will now set up the independent grievance committee the union demands. JNU has no formal patient feedback system. If the inquiry confirms the allegations, the doctor could face disciplinary action under university service rules, but students want more than an individual penalty: they want a structural fix that prevents future incidents. Watch for the university's response within the next 15 days, as JNUSU has threatened a protest if no action is taken.
