Chaos at Central Hospital as relatives attack staff over patient's death
Violence erupted at Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar after relatives of a deceased patient allegedly vandalised the facility and assaulted medical staff. The incident began when Bhagwan Nimbhore died during treatment, prompting his family to accuse doctors of negligence. The confrontation quickly escalated into a full-blown attack on hospital property and personnel.
The chaos started after Bhagwan Nimbhore passed away despite continuous medical efforts. His relatives, claiming negligence, smashed glass panels, damaged hospital property, and hurled medical equipment. Several doctors and staff were pushed and manhandled during the outburst.
Police from Central Police Station arrived swiftly to restore order. Following the incident, hospital staff staged a work boycott, demanding stronger security measures and immediate action against the attackers. Authorities responded by promising legal action against those responsible. They also announced plans to station an armed police officer at the hospital to prevent future incidents. Protesters highlighted a growing trend of attacks on healthcare workers, citing inadequate security in hospitals as a major concern.
The hospital has pledged to tighten security and ensure the safety of its staff. Legal proceedings against the accused are expected to begin shortly. An armed police presence will now remain on-site to deter further violence.
