A doctor was abducted from his residence here allegedly by some unidentified men, police said today.
An FIR lodged in this connection said the unidentified men came to Dr Ram Bachchan Choudhary's house on April 30 and asked him to accompany them for treatment of a patient. But he has not returned yet, they said.
Gumla Deputy Commissioner Gouri Shankar Minz said police has launched raids to trace the doctor.
Meanwhile, Dr B Mahato, one of the doctors at the Sadar Hospital, said except for emergency services the medical staff struck work today in protest against the abduction.
They took out a procession demanding immediate release of the doctor and warned that the medical staff would go on strike from May 5 if he was not released.
