The 18 physicians and specialist doctors violated their contractual agreement with the government, an official of the home department said.

The doctors were appointed on contract in July-August and expected to join duty in different prisons.

“Most failed to do that. A few joined but remained absent from duty,” an official said. All 54 prisons in Bihar face a shortage of doctors.
