A shocking incident of an assault on a doctor has come to light in the SMHS Hospital, Srinagar, India.
The assault was captured on CCTV. It shows an on-duty doctor being punched by the attendant of a patient admitted to SMHS hospital.
In the video, the man, believed to be a relative of a patient, is seen entering the room where the doctor was seen standing and speaking to the family members of another patient. The man then walks up to the doctor and punches him, knocking him to the ground.
This is the second instance of an attack on a doctor in Jammu and Kashmir in a week and has added on to the recent spate of attacks on doctors and other medical staff members in different parts of the country.
Following the assault on the doctor at SMHS hospital, medical staff shut their services and launched a protest demanding better security for medical staff carrying out their duties.
