BHUBANESWAR: A paediatrician at Bhubaneswar's Khurda district hospital was allegedly abducted on Thursday by the kin of a child, who had died earlier in the day.

In his complaint, Dr Pradip Kumar Das said, “Two men barged into my house within the hospital campus around 1.30 pm, and forcefully took me away on a bike while ten men followed us. They then shoved me into a car and assaulted me saying that I was responsible for the child's death .“

“After 40 minutes, the abductors released me near a bus stand, from where my friend brought me to the hospital,“ Das said, adding his maid witnessed the abduction. The child was suffering from convulsions and died on way to another hospital.
