Srinagar: A day after Health Minister Taj Mohiuddin claimed that molestation charges leveled against Director Health and other officials have proved baseless, the lady complainant Wednesday said that Minister and some top Health officials utilised their resources to save the ‘tainted’ Director Health Kashmir.
“When I reached Civil Secretariat to record my statement before the Commissioner Secretary Health, I was asked to go home with the plea that I don’t need to utter anything. All the close aides of Dr Saleem were present in the office of the investigating officer,” the nurse said.
She said the CCTV footage shows my entry and exit from Dr Saleem’s office but there is no CCTV footage of the office of Chief Accounts Officer (CAO) where the Director assaulted me,” she said.
“The Director had claimed that there were number of persons present in his office when I met her, but he did not mention that the meeting between us took place at CAO’s chamber. I demand to check the CCTV footage of that office so that the truth can come to fore,” the lady said.
The nurse said that it was true that I met the Director Health in presence of many persons, but he directed me to wait outside. “When I came out from washroom he was coming down from stairs. As he saw me, he asked me to wait for him in the CAO’s office where nobody was present,” she said.
She said there is not an iota of doubt that the accused used his influence to impress upon the higher officials to prove his innocence.
She accused Health Minister of saving the Director Health and said that it was inappropriate on part of minister to tell her, “keep your history with you, I know every everything.”
“How and why before the completion of the probe the minister termed the allegations baseless,” she said.
She said if inquiry would have been fair then her detailed statement could have been recorded in appropriately.
