In Gujarat, the state government has taken disciplinary action against senior medical professionals following allegations of misconduct and harassment against resident doctors. In late August, Health Minister Praful Pansheriya ordered the transfer of senior doctor Ashwin Ramani from Rajkot Civil Hospital to a primary health centre in Panchmahal. This followed reports that Ramani slapped and verbally abused a female resident doctor during a dispute over patient treatment. The incident led to police detention and protests by resident doctors regarding workplace safety. In early September, the minister ordered the transfer of Dr. Chirag Barot, an Associate Professor in Vadodara, to Bhavnagar. This action followed written complaints from 18 resident doctors alleging physical and mental harassment, ragging, and inappropriate conduct, including obscene comments and threats regarding academic performance. The minister has reiterated a ‘zero tolerance’ policy toward such behavior to ensure the safety and dignity of medical staff. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-04: Gujarat Health Minister transfers psychiatry professor amid harassment claims Gujarat Health Minister Praful Pansheriya ordered the immediate transfer of a psychiatry professor following harassment and ragging allegations made by 18 resident doctors in Vadodara. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gujarat-health-minister-transfers-psychiatry-professor-amid-harassment-claims ### 2026-08-21: Gujarat minister orders transfer of doctor after alleged abuse of female resident A senior doctor in Gujarat has been transferred and detained following allegations of slapping and verbally abusing a female resident doctor during a dispute at Rajkot Civil Hospital. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gujarat-minister-orders-transfer-of-doctor-after-alleged-abuse-of-female-resident --- Cite as: Medical misconduct allegations in Gujarat.
