The accused then roamed around the hospital premises, creating fear among staff for about half an hour. CCTV footage of the incident has also surfaced. Dresser armed over salary issue According to the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO), the dresser’s salary had been withheld due to repeated absences from duty. The accused, identified as Manish Nazgarh, posted at Lukwasa Health Center, had reportedly not received his salary for the past 12 months. Around 4 PM on Wednesday, Nazgarh reached BMO Dr. Sanjay Rathore’s cabin with a gun and live rounds. Dr. Rathore stated that the accused loaded the rounds inside the cabin and threatened him over the pending salary before moving through the hospital premises, frightening staff members. Police action and suspension Police arrived at the scene soon after being informed of the incident. Based on Dr. Rathore’s complaint, Kolaras police registered an FIR against Manish Nazgarh. CMHO Dr. Sanjay Rishibhar confirmed that Nazgarh was suspended immediately following the incident and has now been attached to Khaniyadhana Health Center. Previous controversy Nazgarh was in the headlines last year when a video of him drinking alcohol during duty went viral on social media, which had also led to his suspension at the time. Dr. Rishibhar clarified that three months of Nazgarh’s salary had been withheld due to unauthorised absences, although his August-September salary was recently released. The CMHO added that the suspension was taken seriously in response to the armed incident. ​
