Sambalpur, Sept 20: A man has been detained by police in Sambalpur after he assaulted a doctor in a private diagnostic center on Tuesday.

Dr Chidananda Mishra has lodged a complaint in this connection against the accused Natabar Banka with the Town police.

Sources said that Banka had been to a private diagnostic centre situated in the Sambalpur town for his health check-up. He was advised a CT Scan by the treating doctor following which he waited on the queue. Meanwhile, he approached the Radiologist, Dr Chidananda Mishra to perform his testing at the earliest but in vain.

Aggrieved over it, Banka slapped the doctor with a slipper all of a sudden.

Acting on the complaint, the town police visited the spot and picked Banka after verifying the CCTV footage.
