Chaos at Central Hospital as patient's death sparks violent protest

Violence erupted at Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar after the death of a patient named Bhagwan Nimbhore. Relatives of the deceased allegedly vandalised hospital property and assaulted staff, accusing doctors of negligence. The incident led to a full-scale protest by medical workers demanding better security.

The chaos began when Nimbhore’s family members stormed the hospital, claiming medical negligence caused his death. Witnesses reported that they smashed glass panels, overturned furniture, and hurled medical equipment. Several doctors and staff were pushed and manhandled in the process.

Police from Central Police Station arrived quickly to restore order. Authorities later confirmed that legal action would be taken against those responsible for the damage and assault. In response, hospital staff staged a work boycott, refusing to resume duties until stronger security measures were put in place. Protesters highlighted that attacks on healthcare workers have risen due to inadequate protection. Officials later announced that armed police personnel would be stationed at the hospital to prevent future incidents.

The hospital has pledged to tighten security following the violent outburst. Legal proceedings against the attackers are expected to begin soon. Meanwhile, medical staff continue to demand long-term measures to ensure their safety while on duty.
