As they asked the woman to call off the protest and wear clothes which the woman refused to. The cops swung into action and wrapped the woman in a blanket and brought her to the SMS Hospital police station.

The woman said she has not yet been reinstated despite repeated pleas to the health department. The woman ANM said she appealed several times to the higher ups in the department, but to no avail.
