Gujarat: In a shocking incident, a doctor was allegedly thrashed at a private hospital in Bhavnagar's Sihor after he asked the family members of a patient to remove their slippers before entering the emergency room. The incident took place on Saturday when the accused arrived at the hospital for the treatment of a woman who had suffered a head injury. The police have arrested the three persons for the attack.

In a video recorded on the CCTV inside the emergency room, a few men can be seen standing next to the woman on the bed. A few seconds later, the doctor - Jaideepsinh Gohil - enters the room and asks them to remove their footwear.

The medicines and other equipment in the room were also damaged in the fight.

The accused, Hiren Dangar, Bhavdeep Dangar, and Kaushik Kuvadiya, have been arrested under sections 115 (2) (act with the intention of thereby causing hurt to any person), 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 351 (3) (criminal intimidation ), and other relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), informed an official, as per an NDTV report.

This incident comes amid a nationwide outrage over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata last month. On August 9, the partially naked body of the 31-year-old trainee doctor was found inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College. She was allegedly raped before being strangulated to death. The autopsy confirmed sexual assault and 25 external and internal injuries on her body.
