Nurses’ body lodges complaint against Kapil Sharma

According to senior police officers, the All India Government Nurses’ Federation in its complaint expressed their “resentment over derogatory representation of nurse” in an episode of a private television show aired on a popular TV channel.

According to senior police officers of the New Delhi district, in the complaint, the federation has demanded that all versions of the episode (broadcast on May 7 and 8), in which a popular Bollywood actor was the chief guest, be removed from all platforms, including the internet.

Police said that it also demanded a public apology from the stand-up comedian and actor and two others associated with the channel and the programme.

Meanwhile, two days ago, nursing and paramedical staff of government Guru Nanak Dev Hospital in Amritsar, which is Sharma’s hometown, had staged a demonstration over the issue. Later, a nurse association there had lodged a police complaint too.
