In a shocking incident, a senior doctor at Delhi's Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital was attacked by unidentified individuals on Friday night during a routine inspection with the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) team. The attack, involving assailants on motorbikes, has raised new security concerns for hospital staff.
Kehar Singh, president of the RWA, reported that the attackers arrived around 8:30-9:00 p.m., initiating a dispute at the hospital gate.
