Mumbai: A woman resident doctor was allegedly assaulted by a patient and his relatives, who were all in an inebriated state, at Mumbai’s Sion Hospital on Sunday morning, doctors said. This comes amid growing outrage over the horrific rape-murder of a trainee doctor at a Kolkata hospital that sent shockwaves across the country.
Resident doctors said the attack took place at the hospital at around 3.30 am when the doctor was on duty in the ward.
The accused patient came to the hospital with injuries on his face and while he was being treated, his relatives abused and threatened the doctor.
The group of 5-6 drunk men along with the patient then physically assaulted her. She sustained injuries while trying to defend herself, they said.
Then, the patient and his family fled the scene.
The doctor is currently giving her statement at Sion Police Station and a First Information Report (FIR) is being filed.
