Doctors as Humans
Afew years ago, I was on a return flight from New Delhi to Paris and New York, when the chief flight attendant suddenly broke up the humming silence and asked passengers to ring the call bell if anyone was a doctor.
Police have arrested two people and apprehended a juvenile for their alleged involvement in vandalising a temple in Central Delhi’s Hauz Qazi area. The incident had taken place last Sunday after a clash broke out between two groups of people belonging to different communities over a minor parking issue.
According to a senior police officer, three FIRs have been registered in the case. The first two FIRs have been registered against two men for fighting and the third FIR has been registered for fighting at a religious place, police said.
The arrests were made on the basis of the CCTV footage of the incident, police said. Union Health Minister and Chandni Chowk MP, Harsh Vardhan, who visited the area, said he could not visit the place earlier as the Parliament session is continuing.

Vardhan assured the people that Delhi Police has been investigating the incident and that the guilty will be brought to book.
A delegation, led by VHP’s Delhi working president Alok Kumar, on Tuesday, also met Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik, demanding the arrest of those involved in allegedly vandalising a temple in the Hauz Qazi area.
A quarrel had broken out on Sunday night in the area over a minor parking issue which soon snowballed into a fight between two groups of different communities, which sparked communal tension in the area.
Massive police contingents have been deployed there to maintain calm and to ensure that no untoward incident takes place. Police have taken control of the area in their bid to ensure peace and harmony. They are reportedly trying to restore normalcy through strict vigil and holding meetings with local residents.
