A security guard of the Polyclinic has allegedly been beat and thrashed by doctors over security checking.
The security guard was new in the hospital and frightened after being roughed up fled the hospital, a source in the hospital said.
According to the source, the security guard, identified as Waheed, stopped Dr Gul at the main entrance after he skipped entry through the walkthrough gate. When the security guard, who was unsure who he has stopped, asked Dr Gul to pass through the walkthrough gate, he got offended and attacked the guard and thrashed him in a fit of rage.
Meanwhile, security guards’ supervisor Shahid intervened and separated the two who had locked horns. The security guard supervisor told the doctor that the guard was new and he should be spared.
According to the source, Dr Gul went into the hospital, returned with his colleagues including Dr Taj (staff officer) and attacked the security guard.
According to the source, AQSA Security Guard Company Manager Major Amir has formally lodged a written complaint with Polyclinic Deputy Executive Director Dr Shahid Hanif against the attackers including Dr Gul pleading the hospital administration to probe the matter and fix responsibility. The source said that the hospital administration has formed a three-member committee to probe the matter.
When contacted, Dr Gul claimed that the issue has been resolved and was just a ‘misunderstanding’.
The Polyclinic executive director did not respond to repeated calls made on his cell phone number to get his version on the issue.
