MOGA (Punjab): A party member of Punjab's ruling Akali Dal, and his son, were both caught on camera attacking and slapping a pregnant nurse, allegedly because she asked them to wait for their turn. Paramjit Singh and his son Gurjit, are both currently missing.
The father and son duo had gone to Gupta nursing home to pick up a patient, but lost their temper when asked to wait their turn. Nurse Ramandeep, who was eight weeks pregnant, faced their wrath, and was reportedly slapped so hard that she fell on the ground. CCTV footage shows the Singhs shouting at the staff before they confront the nurse. "I had only asked them to wait outside as they were sitting on seats meant for staff. They could not take it and began to abuse me... to which I objected but they slapped me and pushed me to the floor, hit me even though I requested them to spare me because of my condition," Ramandeep said.
Rahul Gupta, who runs the clinic, said, "The duo told us they were from the Sarpanch's family... Since they are from the ruling party, they tried to use their clout and intimidate them." The party will take a big hit with such incidents as state elections loom around the corner.
