The employees present there woke up after hearing the gunshots. Shravan Saini, an employee present at the hospital during the incident, informed the matter to the police, they added.

As per a media report in TOI, '' When they fired bullets, I immediately went to the doctor in charge of the hospital. We were all scared. He asked me to call 112. Soon after, four police vehicles reached the hospital with a forensics team'', said staff member Shravan Saini.
