Gunfight between 2 ambulance providers in hospital premises, one critical
Bhind: A 24-year-old man sustained serious injuries in an exchange of fire between two groups in government hospital premises in Madhya Pradesh's Bhind district, police said Tuesday.
The incident happened late Monday night and the injured man, identified as Vivek Singh, has been shifted to a hospital in Gwalior for further treatment, an official said.
"Two groups owing allegiance to Vivek Singh and Shyam Singh fired 20-25 rounds at each other. Singh suffered a severe bullet wound," he said.

Sources said both persons had deployed ambulances at the district hospital and the fight was over who got to ferry a critical patient to Gwalior.
Sources said such fights are common as ambulance providers look at these long-distance patient-ferrying trips as an opportunity to fleece money.
"On a complaint made by Vivek Singh, we have booked 10 people, including Shyam Singh, for an attempt to murder," Rudolf Alvares, Bhind Superintendent of Police.
