Haryana cop shoots at doctor for refusing to prepare fake report

Cops in Haryana are notorious for wielding the power of their gun. And now,  footage from a CCTV camera at the Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College and Hospital in Haryana’s Karnal district reinforces that trigger-happy perception.

An assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of police allegedly shot at a doctor from the hospital early on Wednesday for refusing to prepare a false medical report.

The ASI, Kashmira Singh, who was allegedly in an inebriated condition, reached the cabin of Dr. Nipun Kalra at the trauma centre of the hospital at 2.45 am, asking him to prepare a false report, Kalra told the Hindustan Times.

The newspaper also has a video of the incident, which can be seen in the YouTube video above.

The footage captured on the hospital’s CCTV shows Singh opening fire at Dr Nipun Kalra with his service pistol. Kalra escaped unhurt.

Kalra told the Hindustan Times that Singh, who was in uniform, wanted him to prepare a false medico-legal report to implicate someone.

“Singh was accompanied by his son and wanted me to prepare a false medical report of his relative which would help him (Singh) to nail someone in a case of attempt to murder. As I objected and told the ASI that there was no grave injury, Kashmira Singh got angry and shot at me,” Kalra was quoted as saying .

Alleging inaction on the part of the police when he went to make a complaint, Kalra said to HT , “After the incident, I immediately called the police emergency number (100) for help. But the police team took about 25 minutes to reach the spot. I and my subordinates were terrorised as the ASI was moving around the hospital with the weapon in his hand. Even the cops on duty at the hospital did not make any attempt to stop Singh.”
