Gurugram: Denied a discount on the hospital bill, the patient's kin and his accomplices created a ruckus at the Narayana Hospital in DLF Phase 3 of Gurugram. They also thrashed the security supervisor and guards.
The uproar created by the accused forced some of the staff at the private hospital in DLF Phase 3 to lock themselves in a room to protect themselves, employees said.
Four members of the hospital staff sustained injuries in the incident and were undergoing treatment. The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras of the hospital, they said.
