According to information, around 11 p.m. on Tuesday (November 12), a fight broke out between the two parties, quickly escalating into a violent clash. A family with a child receiving treatment in the PICU demanded a separate bed.

The doctors tried to explain that the PICU was full and no additional bed was available. Hearing this, the family members began verbally abusing the doctors on duty.

Family Threatens To Kill 

When the doctors attempted to calm them down, the family grew even more aggressive and threatened to kill them if their demands were not met. Seven doctors were on duty in the PICU of the new chest ward that night. 

Furthermore, the family summoned a dozen armed individuals who entered the wing and began assaulting the doctors on duty. The altercation turned bloody, leaving nearly all seven doctors injured. The accused reportedly attacked Dr. Shwetank, Dr. Santosh, Dr. V Keshav, guard Radha Joshi, and another guard in the hospital.

As the conflict escalated, police were called. They arrived in time to intervene and prevent any serious injuries. A formal complaint about the incident was filed with the police by Dr. Shwetank Soni.
