A doctor was assaulted by a patient's son at a private hospital in Kalyan on Saturday night, reigniting concerns about doctors' safety in the area. This follows an incident in July where a Shiv Sena corporator and his supporters allegedly assaulted a doctor at a KDMC-run hospital in Dombivli. Dr Yogendra Jaiswal, an orthopedist at Bhanu Jyoti hospital, was examining a patient when his son Nitin repeatedly questioned him and addressed him disrespectfully.
The commotion lasted for five to six minutes, prompting Jaiswal to call for police assistance. Despite initially seeking a non-cognizable complaint, Jaiswal had to wait four hours for an FIR to be registered. The doctors' association condemned the incident and demanded strict action, emphasizing the need for safe working conditions. Police confirmed that an FIR has been registered and further investigation is ongoing.
