Nagpur IGGMCH assault allegation triggers resident doctors' indefinite strike threat
India
A visit to Nagpur's IGGMCH turned tense when a police head constable and his son allegedly assaulted a doctor after being told the son's hand injury was "minor" and could be treated at home.
The incident has sparked outrage among resident doctors, who are now threatening an indefinite strike if action is not taken.
MARD backs resident doctors' demands
Resident doctors want charges against their colleague dropped and are calling for the arrest and suspension of the officer and suspension of the head constable.
The Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) is backing them up, demanding action from authorities.
With complaints filed by both sides, tensions between hospital staff and police are running high.
