A doctor at a private hospital in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, was assaulted after requesting the family of a patient to remove their slippers before entering the emergency room. The incident occurred on Saturday at a hospital in Sihor, Bhavnagar, when the accused arrived to seek treatment for a woman who had sustained a head injury.
The altercation, captured on CCTV, shows Dr. Jaideepsinh Gohil asking the family members to remove their footwear as a standard hospital protocol. The situation escalated quickly into a violent confrontation. The accused men—Hiren Dangar, Bhavdeep Dangar, and Kaushik Kuvadiya—attacked Dr. Gohil, despite attempts by the patient, who was lying on the bed, and the nursing staff to intervene.
The altercation resulted in damage to medical equipment and medicines in the emergency room. Following the attack, the police arrested the three men involved under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including sections 115 (2) for causing hurt with intention, 352 for intentional insult to provoke a breach of peace, and 351 (3) for criminal intimidation, among other relevant provisions.
