Tardeo Court building, located next to Bhatia Hospital finds itself in an unsavoury controversy after the police booked a security guard and management committee secretary of the society based on a complaint filed by a nurse working in the hospital. An FIR has been lodged at the Tardeo police station against the duo.

The complaint

Nurse Jensi Thomas, 24, filed the complaint with the police on Wednesday. Four flats in the Tardeo Court building belong to the hospital, which provides accommodation for nurses. Currently, only three flats are being used. According to the complaint, on October 28, when 12 nurses tried to get into the building after completing work around 3 pm, the building's security guards blocked the entrance, denying entry to them. However, they managed to get in after an argument with the guards. After a while when Thomas had to step out for some work, a security guard allegedly stopped her and said that the society had asked not to allow the nurses to move out and re-enter the building, allegedly on instructions of secretary Kartik Mehta. On being stopped, Thomas reported the matter to the Hospital Human Resources (HR) chief, Nitin Warde, who arrived at the building. He then took the nurse and others to the Tardeo police station.
