Woman dies 2 days after sexual assault at Haryana Government hospital

A 58-year-old woman died two days after alleging she was sexually assaulted by a security guard at a government hospital in Panipat, Haryana, India. The incident occurred during a CT scan at the Civil Hospital, where the accused guard allegedly prevented the woman's family members from entering the CT scan room. Police arrested the guard and plan to produce him in court.

The woman, who had heart and tuberculosis issues, was treated at PGIMS Rohtak but died during the treatment. The CT scan and MRI services at the Civil Hospital are provided on a public-private partnership basis, with the guard employed by the partnering company. The company has since terminated his services. Health authorities have instructed that a woman attendant is present during diagnostic tests and procedures involving female patients to prevent such incidents.
