- A dispute broke out on Friday between trainee nurses and a dialysis patient's family at Shahjahanpur's Government Medical College, leading to complaints from both sides.
- Police first registered a case on Sunday night against the patient's father, brother, and about 20 unidentified persons after the nurses alleged they were assaulted, vandalised the dialysis unit, attempted to drag one nurse into a vehicle, and molested her.
- The patient's family then filed a cross-complaint, and late Monday night an FIR was registered against trainee nurses Alka and Anushka under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Sections 115 and 110 for causing hurt and attempt to commit culpable homicide.
- The family alleges the patient's condition worsened after a nurse removed the dialysis tube when her condition deteriorated during dialysis.
- The case matters because both parties now face criminal charges in an escalating hospital altercation under investigation.
What to watch next
- Findings of the police inquiry ordered into the dispute
- Progress of the investigation into both FIRs
