Doctor detained for seeing patients at private clinic during duty hours

A government doctor has been detained on charges of neglecting his official duties to see patients at a private diagnostic center. He was caught practicing privately during his scheduled hospital hours. The incident has sparked widespread discussion and outrage in the local community.

According to local sources, there had been long-standing complaints against the physician for neglecting his duties. Instead of attending to patients at the government hospital, he reportedly spent most of his time at private clinics. On the day of the incident, many patients were waiting in long queues at the hospital while he was busy at a nearby diagnostic center.

Upon receiving complaints, local administration and police conducted a raid and detained the doctor from the diagnostic center. Hospital authorities expressed regret over the incident. Local residents demanded strict action, questioning where poor patients would go if government doctors prioritized private practice.

Following the detention, the health department has formed an inquiry committee to investigate the matter. Departmental action against the accused doctor is currently underway. Administration officials stated that monitoring will be tightened to ensure government doctors remain present during their duty hours.
