Hyderabad: A shocking video has surfaced on social media capturing an assault on a woman intern at a hospital in Hyderabad. According to the claims, the victim was attacked at the casualty wing of the Gandhi Hospital by an intoxicated patient on Wednesday. However, after the incident, the people present nearby rescued the victim from the clutches of the accused. The entire incident was caught on the CCTV installed at the spot.

According to police sources, the patient, who was brought to the hospital’s casualty for treatment by a relative, suddenly grabbed the intern without any provocation, while she was attending to another patient and attacked her.

Fellow medicos and senior doctors rushed to the rescue of the intern and quickly subdued the attacker. The sudden assault on the female intern at Gandhi Hospital, in the backdrop of the recent strike by medicos demanding security following the death of the trainee doctor in Kolkata, has shocked the community of medicos.

“We promptly reported the incident to our Superintendent, who assured us that both a police and an institutional FIR would be filed without delay to address the situation appropriately. The Gandhi Junior Doctors Association (JUDA) strongly condemns this assault and calls for swift and decisive action to ensure the safety and security of all medical staff and interns. The association demands a thorough investigation into the incident and measures to prevent such occurrences in the future,” the members of the Gandhi Junior Doctors Association (JUDA) said.
