Prayagraj News: A criminal case has been registered against three doctors at Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital in Prayagraj for allegedly assaulting the relatives of a woman patient. The FIR was registered at the Kotwali police station against three 'unknown doctors' accused of assaulting an elderly woman, named Kunnu Devi, and her family members.

No one was named in the FIR. The case was registered against the accused doctors under sections 115 (2), 352, 75 and 76 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita. After registering the case, the police started their investigation.

The accused doctors are being identified on the basis of the viral video. According to the FIR, the elderly woman from Banda, Kunnu Devi, had gone to Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital on Monday, September 2, to get her daughter-in-law Suman treated. Around 7 PM, while showing the investigation report in ward number 12, an altercation took place.
