"A case has been filed against the attackers and the police is making effort to find the accused," he added.
Earlier Medical Dialogues had reported that after taking cognizance of the rising cases of assaults against doctors and how repeatedly the culprits go scot-free due to lack of police action in the matter, the Delhi government had come out with a circular mandating that an institutional FIR be filed in the matter by the head of the institutions in such cases.
All HOD’s of Hospitals/Medical Institutions, are hereby directed that in case of any incident involving abuse or violence by the patients or their attendants, an FIR/Complaint is required to be filed by the concerned Hospitals/ Institutions immediately. In no case, the individual doctor/para-medical/nursing/administrative staff, etc., should be asked to lodge the FIR/complaints with the Police in such cases, stated the circular.
