The Nadapuram police have registered a case against two unidentified persons who reportedly assaulted a doctor at the government taluk hospital at Nadapuram on Tuesday night.
One of the accused reportedly had ear congestion. He came to the hospital seeking treatment, along with another person. According to sources, they claimed they were coming from Wayanad.
The doctor, Bharat Krishna, a native of Chalakkudy in Thrissur, prescribed medicines for him and advised nebulization. Later, the other person too sought treatment for ear congestion, but the nursing assistant insisted that he needed to take an outpatient ticket for getting treatment. Following this, the accused created a ruckus in the ward. The doctor reached the ward listening to the commotion. When he tried to intervene in the argument, Dr. Krishna was pushed and assaulted, said a complaint filed with the police.
