“The Government has constituted an inquiry committee to probe the allegation of molestation against a doctor at GMC, Jammu,” J&K Minister for Health and Medical Education Bali Bhagat said in the state Assembly.

He said an FIR has already been registered against the doctor and the report of the departmental inquiry instituted to probe the allegation will be submitted within 10 days.
