Medical professor shot at in Imphal

Taruni, a professor of Medicine in Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, was shot and wounded on Friday night by unknown assailants. She was rushed to the RIMS hospital with a bullet injury in the head. Doctors and post-graduate students immediately closed the emergency ward in protest. Sources said that Dr. Taruni was in her private clinic a little away from the RIMS complex. There is a strict order from the RIMS authority not to indulge in private practices since the faculties in the institute are drawing non-practising allowance at the rate of 25 per cent of their salary. At 8:49 pm she was busy examining her patients in the clinic when three shots were fired. Reports say that a rifle might have been used to fire the shots. The bullets pierced the glass partitions. Though two of the bullets missed her, the third bullet hit her at the back of the head. Perhaps on seeing her slumped body the assailants fled. She was immediately rushed to the RIMS hospital.
