It said the chief minister and his wife had visited the doctor three times to apologise. “The doctor and his family were very kind and understanding to the point that it was embarrassing for us. We think they are very mature and we really appreciate them,” Zoramthanga said in the statement. Milari’s elder brother Ramthansiama also apologised on social media, saying that his sister was “out of control” and acted out of “mental stress.”

Meanwhile, around 700 doctors of the Indian Medical Association’s (IMA) Mizoram staged a protest against the incident and wore black badges to their workplaces.

“Even if more stringent action was taken (by the IMA), it would not have been out of line and wholly warranted. However, they have taken only this step and have been mature, and we really respect the maturity they have shown. We also want to say that we will do whatever we can so that something like this does not happen again,” Zoramthanga added.
