Aligarh Muslim University has agreed to extend the tenure of two Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College doctors, whose services were allegedly “terminated” for their remarks in connection with the case of alleged gang-rape and death of a Dalit woman in Hathras.
“On the request of the Chief Medical Officer of the hospital, received on Wednesday, the university has given its nod to the proposal to extend the tenure of the two doctors,” AMU spokesperson Omar Saleem Peerzada said over phone from Aligarh on Thursday.
The order ending the contract of the two doctors — Dr. Mohamnad Azeemudin and Dr. Obaid Imtiaz — was issued by Chief Medical Officer S. A. Zaidi on Tuesday, a day after the CBI team probing the gang-rape and death case visited the hospital.
