They threatened doctors following the death of a patient
A group of people ransacked Doddaballapura government hospital and threatened staff and doctors after a patient died on Sunday. The deceased developed multiple complications during the course of her treatment and succumbed, said doctors. Her son Girish, accompanied by other relatives, allegedly barged into the hospital, ransacked the premises and gained entry into the restricted COVID-19 ward where they threatened the doctor and staff, and frightened patients. The actions of the mob prevented staff from treating patients, who were in shock, said a police officer.
