The victim named Mukesh Naik told IANS, "When I went to the hospital with severe stomach pain, no doctor was there to attend to me. When I asked the security guard, he said the doctor has gone to the washroom. After some time, someone from the medical staff injected two injections and I was on a stretcher. At that time, the doctor suddenly came to me and started beating me like anything."

Meanwhile, the patient and local people also blocked nearby NH-130 on Monday demanding the arrest of the doctor. Two different complaints have been filed by the doctor and patient in the local police station.
