“After I was taken to the labour room, I had tremendous pain. But two doctors started slapping me and abusing me. They told me it was sheer ‘dramabazi’. I started feeling unwell and I was scared and traumatized after the incident,” she told Mirror

Mirror reports that her family protested outside the hospital and staged a dharna against the doctors of the hospital, demanding their arrest. The local police had to cordon off the area in order to calm the situation

The family of the patient have filed a written complaint with the MS of the hospital, while also lodging an FIR against the doctors
