Jaipur: Police has registered an FIR against BJP’s Rajasthan legislator Prahlad Gunjal, who had allegedly abused and threatened chief medical and health officer of Kota district Dr R.N. Yadav with dire consequences for not transferring a kin of his supporter.
Police has also booked Dinesh Shukla who had threatened Dr Yadav for recording the abusive clip of the MLA which went viral. “You did not do a right thing by making the clip viral, will we implement what we have told you,” Mr Shukla allegedly told Dr Yadav.

While, Dr Yadav claimed that he has sought voluntary retirement as he would not be able to work in an intimidating atmosphere, doctors have threatened to go on strike.
Taking a serious note of the issue, which has snowballed into a major controversy, the BJP suspended Mr Gunjal after issuing him a show cause notice on Thursday night.
The MLA promptly sent a reply to Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, saying, “I did call the CMHO and ask him for the transfer of a male nurse, who is the brother-in-law of a party worker. But I did not threaten or intimidate him. But, yes, I scolded him as I was very angry.”
