Late Monday night, chaos unfolded at Hassan Medical College and Hospital in Karnataka when a group of inebriated individuals forcefully entered the premises and assaulted medical personnel, including resident and postgraduate (PG) doctors.
Eyewitnesses described the attackers as unruly elements who, without any provocation, launched a sudden attack on the on-duty doctors. The unexpected violence created fear and distress among patients, hospital employees, and medical students.
In response, MBBS students, PG doctors, and hospital staff swiftly gathered outside the emergency ward, staging a demonstration against the assault. The agitated medical community strongly condemned the incident and insisted on immediate action against the culprits.
Expressing deep concern over their safety, the protesting doctors demanded stricter security protocols to prevent similar occurrences. The demonstration, held outside the casualty section, saw a large turnout, with the medical fraternity calling for justice and urgent intervention from authorities.
A First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged regarding the attack, and law enforcement agencies have commenced their investigation. Medical professionals at the hospital have urged the police to act decisively against those responsible and implement effective measures to safeguard healthcare workers who serve under high-pressure conditions.
The incident has reignited discussions on the safety of doctors in public hospitals, with many emphasizing the urgent need for stringent security reforms.
