SHOCKING VIDEO: DOCTOR THRASHES PATIENT AT HOSPITAL

A shocking incident was caught on camera after a resident doctor at Jaipur's Sawai Man Singh Medical College was allegedly seen thrashing a patient on Saturday. The incident occurred on June 1 but the matter came to light after the video started to trend online.

In the video, a doctor is seen slapping the patient in the ward where other patients were also undergoing treatment. Soon after this video was shared on social media, the Rajasthan Human Rights Commission sought a report on the matter from the hospital administration by June 25.

As per NDTV reports, according to the hospital administration, patient Mubarik, 30, from Uttar Pradesh and currently residing in Chandpole area in Jaipur, was admitted at their facility on June 1 for a type of poisoning with gastritis. However, he turned violent with the doctors, they said.

SMS Hospital Superintendent Dr DS Meena said, "The video circulated on social media seems to be edited. A disciplinary committee will investigate the matter and a report will be submitted to the Rajasthan Human Rights Commission as well. The patient is now fit to be discharged."

Hospital authorities further said that, the patient first manhandled a female doctor and when a male doctor and the patient's family tried to calm him down, he started to physically attack those present there. 

Media reports say that, Rajasthan Human Rights Commission has sought report on the action taken by the hospital administration and asserted that thrashing any patient is a crime.
