A nurse at a private hospital in Bihar was the target of a gang rape attempt, the police said on Thursday. The nurse managed to flee the scene after severing one attacker’s privates with a knife. It occurs one month after a trainee physician was killed and sexually assaulted at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, sparking a worldwide outcry and an indefinite walkout by young physicians in West Bengal.

According to the Bihar Police, one of the attackers worked as a doctor and was also the administrator of the RBS Health Care Center in Gangapur, which is located inside the boundaries of the Musrighararari police station in the Samastipur district. Under the influence of alcohol, Dr. Sanjay Kumar and two of his assistants allegedly attempted to rape the nurse while she was wrapping up her shift at the hospital.

She slashed the doctor’s genitalia with a knife and managed to free herself from the attackers’ grasp. She hid in a field outside the hospital, managed to get away, and called the police.

Three persons were taken into jail after securing the nurse’s safe custody, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police Sanjay Kumar Pandey, who led the squad that was sent to the hospital. Awadhesh Kumar and Sunil Kumar Gupta were named as the other two defendants in addition to Dr. Kumar.

“The Nurse’s Courage Is Remarkable.”
Before attempting to sexually assault the nurse, DSP Kumar said that the attackers had closed the facility from the inside and disconnected the CCTV cameras. “The survivor’s courage and presence of mind are commendable,” he said.

The police found blood-stained clothing, three cell phones, a bottle of vodka, and the nurse’s knife during their first investigation at the scene. The three guys, according to the police, had been drinking before to the event, and as Bihar has declared itself a dry state, they would also face charges under the prohibition rules.
