Officials said that the South Garo Hills district administration had ordered a magisterial inquiry, headed by Additional District Magistrate A M Sangma, into the police action and the report is expected to be filed within two weeks.
A doctor in-charge of Chokpot PHC, Dr W N Sangma, was detained by the police for not allowing police personnel to park their vehicles in the hospital premises on Wednesday evening, sources said.
Dr Sangma was allegedly handcuffed and his hands tied before he was taken to the Chokpot police station and his medical examination conducted.
According to MMSA general secretary Dr Aman War, the doctor had only asked the constables from the second MLP battalion who were coming in a vehicle not to use the road inside the PHC premises.
Dr War said that though the doctor was released by the police after detaining him on Wednesday evening, he was again taken for medical examination at night.
The government doctors association, the Meghalaya Medical Service Association (MMSA), has demanded stringent action against the erring police personnel, saying if it was not done, they would resort to a statewide strike from next week.
