What Happened InsideThe IGMC Hospital Ward
The viral video captures a tense moment inside a hospital ward at IGMC. A patient can be seen lying on a bed when a doctor allegedly starts hitting him. The doctor delivers multiple punches, while the patient appears to kick back in an attempt to protect himself.

Netizens React Strongly To IGMC Doctor Assault Video
The video has sparked intense debate online, with netizens expressing anger, concern, and mixed opinions. One user wrote, “What on earth! Our service sector employees are stretched and often overwhelmed I know. But they can’t take law into their hands like this, deserves strictest punishment.”
Another comment highlighted broader safety issues inside hospitals, saying, “Either a doctor gets beaten up by a patient’s family and friends or a patient getting beaten up by a doctor, no hospital security people ever to be seen!”
Some reactions were harsher, demanding severe consequences. One post read, “Cancel the Dr license to practise medicine. No suspension, nothing. He is cancer to society!”
However, a few users urged caution before drawing conclusions. One comment said, “Until the whole story is out we can't judge the doctor. Govt hospitals lack proper infrastructure and Doctors are blamed for the same.”
