An Intern of Fifth year in medical college was badly assaulted by attendants of patient while he was on duty.He gave written complaint to the Dean of Medical college to protect the rights of interns from assault of relatives of patients.The duty doctor was not available at 11 pm in the night.Because he signed the attendance report saying that he reported the duty and went out for private practice in the city. when patient who suffered from heart problem, was admitted as inpatient on the instructions of duty doctor over by phone. Patient expired even after sincere efforts made by Intern as part and parcel of his duty. Medical college hospital authorities have not taken any action in spite of repeated reminders even after the observation of CC footage.Who has to register a complaint against the accused whether Intern or Dean of Medical college when assault took place.Intern says it is the duty of Dean to initiate action against accused since he is an intern on monthly stipend and was in course of employment and has not yet medical degree.what are the rights of Interns in this regard since college is not protecting the interns.Please suggest

The victim could have dialled 100 then and there and police would have taken necessary action.

Do you have any concern with the case of assault on intern?

Also whether the intern was being paid salary or stipend and by whom, the hospital or the college?
