New Delhi: Resident Doctors of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospital have been on strike for the past two days since the assault of three resident doctors by a mob of 30 people at the casualty of the hospital.
The incident goes back to Sunday Night, when a resident doctor was returning back from outside the hospital to the orthopedic emergency after attending to an MLC case. As recounted, the resident doctor was allegedly kicked on the leg by one the patients' attendants present there. This led to an argument between the doctor and the person. In no time, this heated argument turned into a fist fight between the two. During the fight, around 30 companions of the attendant came, and began beating all the doctors present in the vicinity. It is reported that one doctor has suffered an injury to the nose, whereas another one had to be later admitted to the same hospital.
In response to this incident, the resident doctors of the hospital, declared an immediate strike, putting a lock on the emergency department of the hospital. It is reported that both sides have filed respective police cases against each other. However, it seems that police case against doctors are more grave in nature as the patient is supposed to have filed a case of racial abuse along with other charges.
