A Group-D staff allegedly molested a 27-year-old woman recuperating from an abortion in Howrah District Hospital on Sunday morning.
Shah Alam, 28, the accused, was arrested, produced in court and remanded in judicial custody for 14 days.
According to her husband, the woman, suffering from abdominal pain, was admitted to the hospital last Tuesday. She had undergone an abortion in a nursing home in Ichapur a fortnight ago.
On Friday, the woman was operated on and sent to bed no. 14 of the hospital’s female surgical ward.
Said the husband: “When I met her on Saturday, she was feeling better. But when I returned this morning, I saw she was being administered oxygen. I asked her about the sudden deterioration in her condition and learnt that she had been molested.”
