- 30-40 people entered ICU with weapons, 3 doctors injured
Bhopal: The family of a patient attacked the doctors in Hamidia Hospital. Three doctors have been injured in the assault, among them a junior doctor has suffered a head injury.
The incident took place around 1 am on Saturday-Sunday night. The patient Dolly Bai died during treatment in the hospital’s ICU-3. Angered by this, the family and the crowd present there attacked the on-duty doctors.
After some time, people armed with weapons came and beat up the doctors. During this time more than 10 doctors were present in the ICU. The doctors have demanded strict action against this attack and appealed to the administration to increase security.
Gandhi Medical College’s Dean in-charge R.P. Kaushal said, “After the death of a critical patient, the relatives entered the ICU. They assaulted the doctors. Three doctors have been injured, although their injuries are not serious. We have immediately complained about the incident to Koh-e-Fiza police.”
Accused to be identified on the basis of video
After the attack, the hospital administration and doctors have demanded increased security. Two videos related to this incident have also surfaced. The video shows that some people are attacking the doctors. On the basis of the video, the police is busy identifying the suspects.
Duty doctors wrote a letter to CMO Hamidia, in which they told, a serious incident has happened in Hamidia Hospital. There was a ruckus in the hospital after the death of Dolly Bai, a patient admitted in ICU (H3D). The patient was declared dead on 9 March 2025. After this, a mob of about 30-40 people attacked the doctors posted in the ICU. The attackers also had weapons, due to which an atmosphere of fear was created in the hospital premises.
JUDA condemns incident
In the case, JUDA President Dr. Kuldeep Gupta said, the incident is unfortunate and condemnable. We have already written letters to the CM, Deputy CM, Police Commissioner and administrative officials regarding the safety of doctors. Earlier, the car of the woman doctor was vandalized. Many times suspicious people keep roaming here in the campus at night. For this we should be given security.
