Hope Hospital director Dr BK Murali gets bail; accuses finance company manager of harassment

Dr BK Murali (Founder Chairman and Managing Director of Hope Hospitals), who was arrested by Panchpaoli Police on January 29, following a scuffle with the manager of Bajaj Finance, has been granted bail. Speaking to Nation Next, Dr Murali shared his side of the story and has accused the manager Raghvendra Jadon of harassing him, his family members and hospital staff.
For the uninitiated, on January 29, a physical fight had ensued between Jadon and Dr Murali and two other employees of Hope Hospital. Following the fight at the hospital situated at Kamptee road in Nagpur, Jadon filed a complaint against Dr Murali at Panchpaoli Police Station.
As per Jadon, Dr Murali had taken loan from Bajaj Finance and was defaulting on the monthly payments. Jadon claimed that he was called to the hospital by Dr Murali for giving money and then beaten by him and his two security personnel. After Jadons complaint, Dr Murali was arrested and booked under various sections.
Dr BK Muralis side of the story, however, puts Jadon under a spotlight. Dr Murali, while speaking to Nation Next, said that he along with his family members and hospital staff was being harassed by a recovery agent hired by Jadon. Dr Murali says, I had taken a loan of Rs 30 lakh. I was paying the monthly installments regularly but because business at my hospital has been a little slow lately, I defaulted on some installments.
Dr Murali adds, Jadon had given a contract to recover money from me to a person in Mumbai. From the last three months, I, my wife, my female colleagues at the hospital, my brother’s family and my mother were getting threatening calls every day. Hundreds of calls were made in a day by these people! Fed up with the harassment, I called Jadon and told him that I am willing to pay but these calls have to stop. Even after that, the calls continued. On January 29, I spoke to Jadon after my brother got a threatening call. I asked Jadon to come to the hospital as I wanted to know why he was harassing me even when I told him that I was ready to pay.
Dr Murali, recalling the incident on January 29, says, Jadon asked for Rs 30,000 to make me prove that I have an intention to pay back the loan amount. When he came to the hospital accompanied by another man, he was very arrogant. He threw his bag at my colleague Ruby Ammon (Director, Hope Hospital) and misbehaved with her. Soon, there was an argument and he attacked us. To defend ourselves, we (Dr Murali and two security personnel) retaliated. He then twisted the entire story and filed a complaint against me at Panchpaoli Police Station.
Dr Murali claims that he filed police complaints against the harassment two times before the incident. He says, Once, Jadon went to my home and misbehaved with my wife. I filed a complaint with Sadar Police after that. Later, as the harassment calls continued, I filed a complaint with the cyber cell. The numbers from which the threatening calls were made could not be traced. I feel that because he didn’t face legal action in spite of my complaints, he has become really bold now. The harassment has increased even more. I’ll now fight this case in the court by restraining the bank.

‘राहुल गांधी बड़ा दिल करके ओबीसी समाज से माफी मांग ले:’ कांग्रेस नेता आशीष देशमुख

Ashish Deshmukh
“राहुलजी गांधीने सम्पूर्ण देश के ओबीसी समाज की माफ़ी मांगनी चाहिए. कांग्रेस को आने वाले चुनावों में खामियाजा भुगतने से बचने लिए और ओबीसी का वोट बैंक बीजेपी के तरफ जाने से रोकने के लिए राहुलजी को निश्चित रूप से माफ़ी मांगनी चाहिए.
२०१९ में अगर गलती से कुछ शब्द उनसे निकल गए होंगे, तो उसको देखते हुए एक बहोत बड़ा ओबीसी समाज अगर नाराज है, तो निश्चित तौर पर राहुलजी माफ़ी मांगे, यही हमारी मांग रहेगी. किसी समाज को चोर कहना ये निश्चित तौर पर गंवारा नहीं है. इसके पहले भी राहुलजी ने विभिन्न दो मसलों में माफ़ी मांगी है. और यहाँ पर तो ओबीसी समाज की बात है. राहुलजी अगर माफ़ी मांगते है तो उनकी प्रतिमा और उभर कर आयेगी. और ये समुचा जो प्रकरण चल रहा है, ये शांत होने में कांग्रेस को मदद होगी.
कांग्रेस के अन्य नेताओं का कहना है की, माफ़ी मांगने का प्रश्न ही नहीं उठता. यह भावनओं का प्रश्न है. एक व्यक्ति यहाँ पर दुखी नहीं हो रहा है, पूरा ओबीसी समाज अपने आप को दुखी महसूस कर रहा है. बड़े दिल से राहुलजी गाँधी माफ़ी मांगे, यही हमारे जैसे नेताओं की मांग है. चौकीदार चोर है के सन्दर्भ में भी हमारे वरिष्ठ नेताओं ने कांग्रेस वर्किंग कमिटी (सीडब्ल्यूसी) में नाराजगी जताई थी. उसमे भी कोर्ट में राहुलजी को माफ़ी मांगनी पड़ी थी.
तब तक २०१९ में कांग्रेस खामियाजा भुगत चूका था. अभी कुछ ही दिनों में कर्नाटक और फिर दिसम्बर में मध्य प्रदेश, छत्तीसगढ़, राजस्थान के चुनाव है, जहाँ पर ओबीसी समाज बहोत बड़े पैमाने पर है. आनेवाले २०२४ में लोकसभा के भी चुनाव है. इन सभी चुनावों में ओबीसी समाज को अपनाने की कांग्रेस को जरुरत है. और ऐसे में अगर ओबीसी समाज कहीं किसी गलत निकले हुए शब्द से दुखी है तो निश्चित तौर पर माफ़ी मांगने से ओबीसी समाज संभल जायेगा, समझ जायेगा और फिर से एक बार पूरी जोश के साथ कांग्रेस के साथ बना रहेगा. मेरे पिता श्री. रणजीतबाबु देशमुख कांग्रेस कमिटी के दो बार अध्यक्ष और मंत्री रह चुके है.
मैं विधायक रह चूका हूं. कांग्रेस की टिकट पर देवेन्द्र फडनविस के खिलाफ भी चुनाव लड़ चूका हूं. मेरे इस वक्तव्य से कांग्रेस पार्टी हायकमांड नाराज नहीं होगी, ये मुझे उम्मीद है. ओबीसी समाज नाराज नहीं होना चाहिए, ये महत्वपूर्ण है. फडनविसजी मुख्यमंत्री थे तब मैं उनके खिलाफ चुनाव में खड़ा हुआ था. उस वक़्त मुझे प्रचार के लिए सिर्फ १०-११ दिन मिले थे. उस वक़्त भारी पैमाने पर हमारा ओबीसी समाज हमारे साथ, कांग्रेस के साथ, खड़ा हुआ था. और यही हम चाहते है की, वो कांग्रेस से जुड़ा रहें.
अगर कहीं गलती से कुछ शब्द चुनाव के प्रचार दरम्यान निकल गए हो, कोई जुमलासा निकल गया हो, तो उसे वापस लेने में और उसे रिग्रेट करने में और उसके लिए माफ़ी मांगने में न कोई अंदेशा या संदेशा रहना चाहिए. राहुलजी बड़े दिल के इंसान है, अच्छे नियत के इंसान है. उन्होंने खुले दिल से ओबीसी समाज को अपनाना चाहिये. ओबीसी समाज की भावना को अगर ठेस पहुंची है, तो माफ़ी मांगकर उनको समझाकर अपने साथ रखने की, कांग्रेस के साथ रखने की पहल निश्चित तौर पर करनी चाहिए.
हमारे प्रदेशाध्यक्ष भी ओबीसी समाज के है और वो विदर्भ के ही है. वो भी इसी भावनाओं से निश्चित रूप से जुड़े होंगे. हमारी यही कोशिश है की कांग्रेस पार्टी आलाकमान तक ये हमारी, कांग्रेस नेताओं की, कार्यकर्ताओं की और ओबीसी समाज की भावनाएं पहुंचे. मुझे यही अपेक्षा रहेंगी की, राहुलजी जैसे सुलझे हुए व्यक्ति जल्द से जल्द माफ़ी मांगकर ओबीसी समाज को फिर से एक बार जोड़ने में सफल होंगे. माफ़ी मांगकर यह विषय यही पर समाप्त करना चाहिए,” ऐसी प्रतिक्रिया महाराष्ट्र प्रदेश कांग्रेस कमिटी के महासचिव एवं महाराष्ट्र के संसदीय समिती के सदस्य तथा नागपुर (महाराष्ट्र) के पुर्व विधायक आशीषराव र. देशमुख ने नागपुर में व्यक्त की. फिलहाल ओबीसी समाज के प्रकरण को देखते हुए उन्होंने एक वार्तालाप में यह बात कही.
