Attack on GMC Patiala Resident doctor: Associations stage protest, seek arrest of suspects
Patiala: Following an attack on an ENT Junior resident doctor, the doctors of the Government Rajindra Hospital have staged a demonstration demanding action against the miscreants.
They demanded that a case should be registered under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the IPC and the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act.
A case was registered at the police station against those unidentified miscreants under sections 353 (assaults or uses criminal force to any person being a public servant), 186 (voluntarily obstructs any public servant in the discharge of his public functions), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 148 (rioting), and 149 (offence is committed by any member of an unlawful assembly).
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that 8 miscreants attacked and injured a resident doctor. The assaulted doctor is a third-year MS student in the ENT department. He was on duty at the hospital’s emergency ward during the night hours. He was saving a critical patient when he saw 6 men misbehaving with nurses. He intervened but the miscreants allegedly assaulted him and he ended up with multiple facial fractures and skull injuries.
