" The patient was in serious condition at the time of admission only. This was duly informed to the family of the patient including his wife. The doctors had followed, due protocol and taken proper consents, wherever necessary. Even after that when the patient didn't survive, the family of the patient began alleging that they had not been informed about the condition of the patient, and then began assaulting the doctors on duty,"informed Dr Kanharam Patel, MARD President, BJ Medical College.

Post the incident the relatives of the patient, now identified as  Tanaji Kondiba Sakat, a rickshaw driver and a resident of Hadapsar then went to the police station and filed an FIR against the doctors.

At the same time, MS of the hospital have filed an institutional FIR under the doctors protection act. Medical superintendent Dr Ajay Taware told Express, “FIR has been registered against the relatives of the patient. There were eight security guards on duty who did not take any action and we are also planning to file a complaint against them.”
