Cop-attack bank victim’s pain worsens, rushed to hospital

Surat:The 31-year-old Canara Bank cashier, who was assaulted by a police constable, was rushed to a private hospital after the pain in her lower back became unbearable on Thursday.
The victim, Santosh Kumari Purohit, had suffered a hairline fracture in her lower back after the unruly constable Ghanshyam Shyora (Ahir) had slapped and pushed her to the floor inside the bank on June 22.
“My wife is suffering from unbearable pain. I had to bring her to hospital for treatment and detailed medical examination,” her husband Jayantilal told TOI.
“Doctor has advised CT scan and only after the report, we can get to know the condition,” he added.
While doctors at state-run New Civil Hospital (NCH) doctors had said she was fine, examination at a private hospital revealed that she had a hairline fracture over the sacrococcyx (lower part of the spine) region. She has been advised rest for 10 days and medication.
“Puna police station staff are responsible for my wife's condition. They did not register our complaint till 11.30 pm in the incident that happened 4.30 pm. Despite the pain, she was kept waiting,” Jayantilal claimed.
Shyora had entered into an argument with Purohit’s colleague Harshad Tiwari over making entry in the passbook of his uncle. Purohit was making a video of the altercation when the cop entered the restricted area and hit her.
Jayantilal also alleged that police did not register the complaint as per the details given by his wife on Monday. “The fresh complaint registered on Wednesday is not accurate. Police only added those sections in which the cop will get bail immediately,” he added.
