A person was injured and was in the hospital and a group of people went to that hospital to attack him again. A group of people attacked doctors and medical staff at the Kadiri Government Hospital in Andhra Pradesh’s Sri Sathya Sai district when they were stopped from assaulting a person admitted there as well as people who had gone to see him. The incident happened at Andhra hospital in Hyderabad.

Superintendent of Police (SP) V Rathna told NDTV it was a drunken brawl and eight people have been booked. There was a clash near the Kutagulla belt shop in Kadiri mandal on Thursday, where one person who had gone to buy liquor was attacked, got injured and was rushed to the government hospital for treatment. The group that attacked him went to the hospital to attack him again. The doctors and staff were also assaulted when they tried to save the patient. CCTV footage shows a man pushing another against a medical trolley and then raining blows on him. The attacker is joined by another person, who does the same. A nurse’s hand was fractured because the trolley, which was made of metal, hit her.

This brutal incident instilled sympathy and fear in the people present nearby.
