Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga had to tender a public apology on his Instagram handle on Saturday, for his daughter’s “misbehaviour” with a doctor earlier in the week, saying that he would, in no way, justify her conduct with the medical personnel.

Milari Chhangte, the CM’s only daughter, was recently seen hitting a doctor at a clinic in a purported video clip that went viral on social media.

The incident has since then sparked outrage among the medical fraternity, with over 800 doctors staging a protest on Saturday, condemning the alleged assault.

Members of the Indian Medical Association-Mizoram chapter, which helmed the protest, wore black badges to their work places during the day.

As per reports, Chhangte assaulted the Aizawl-based dermatologist on Wednesday on being asked to get an appointment prior to her visit to the clinic for consultation.

The IMA’s Mizoram chapter said in a statement that such acts of violence against medical practitioners should never be repeated.
