The Kozhikode Rural police have started investigation into an alleged mid-night attack by a patient on the duty doctor and other hospital staff at a private hospital in Thiruvambady alleging unsatisfactory treatment. The incident took place around 11.45 p.m. on May 11 (Saturday).
According to police sources, the man who was injured in a road accident was in an inebriated state when he approached the hospital for first aid. He turned aggressive after the hospital staff completed the procedures. Dr. Susmith, who attended the patient, sustained injuries in the unexpected assault.
The CCTV cameras at the hospital had captured the entire incident, which helped the hospital authorities to file a petition. Police officers said they had already identified the suspect and he would be taken into custody soon for further interrogation.
