The dean, Anand Dongre, was on his way to his office when he was told about the vandalism allegedly committed by Santosh Dawale and his associates, in protest against the lack of sanitation and other facilities in the medical college's paediatrics ward.
Dongre summoned the police who reached the medical college and brought the situation under control.
"I have lodged a police complaint at the city police station against Santosh Dawale and others," Dongre said, adding that the police had launched a manhunt after registering an offence under Sections 353, 186, 504, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code IPC against Dawale and others.
He alleged that his new born child was bitten by ants in the hospital due to the lack of proper facilities and even after a complaint was made to Medical Superintendent Kishore Ingole, nothing has been done to rectify it.
"We are investigating the matter and only after verifying facts, an arrest will be made," Superintendent of Police Ranjan Kumar Sharma said.
In a related development, Class 3 and Class 4 employees including nurses submitted a memorandum to the dean and other district authorities for protection while on duty.
