The officer said while the doctor was checking a patient in his clinic, one of the accused came inside and insisted that he treat his injured finger.

"The doctor told him to wait outside as he was already attending a patient. The response angered the other two accused who were standing outside the clinic.

"They barged inside and damaged the cabin glass using a sharp weapon," he said.

While they were ransacking the clinic, a piece of broken glass hit the complainant (the doctor), leaving him injured, the officer said.

"We have arrested all three accused and registered a case against them under relevant sections of the IPC, the Maharashtra Medicare Service Persons and Medicare Service Institutions Act and the Maharashtra Police Act, among others," he added.
