We the doctors of AIIMS- Patna have been attacked by a group of goons of around 100 people lead by anti-national leader #KANHAIYA KUMAR, when some local leader got admitted in our orthopedic ward, whose relatives were continuously misbehaving with our staff and interns. Interns, resident doctors were badly abused and threatened to be kidnapped by them and guards brutally beaten. We are really horrified and traumatized by the event."The post further says, "We request government of India to provide us with adequate security, so that such incidents don't occur in future."Angry over the incident, the AIIMS Patna doctors submitted list of demand to the medical superintendent Sr Sudesh Kumar, urging him to provide 24X7 armed security guard forces in all wards, one patient and two attendant system and installation of more CCTV cameras at hospital premises.

Last evening, when Kanhaiya came to see me, they rudely asked him and others to leave. Later they turned abusive and threatened that they will throw us out. They even snatched the mobile phone of one of the AISF members,” he said.Meanwhile, health minister Mangal Pandey said he asked AIIMS Patna director to submit a report about the incident and assured that strict action will be taken against persons who misbehaved with AIIMS Patna doctors.
