Dr Shravan Kumar will continue to remain under suspension until the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings/termination of all proceedings relating to the criminal charges.

The suspension has not gone down well with the members of Telangana Teaching Government Doctors Association (TTGDA). “Dr Shravan was suspended without even conducting a proper inquiry into the development. According to our reports, Dr Shravan was physically attacked by the family members of the deceased. The TTGDA opposes the suspension and will come-up an action plan to protest against this decision in the coming days,” the association said.
