They will also be speaking to senior officers at Hamidia Hospital, Gandhi Medical College and Medical Education officers, on Monday.

It is believed that Abishek who had met with an accident leading to problematic movement in the arms and legs was under Dr. Mohits care on reaching the hospital. His relatives however, had a heated exchange of words with the patients relatives on account of treatment being given. It is alleged that the relatives later beat up the attending doctor.

Dr Tanmay Shah, President, Gandhi Medical College, when contacted confirmed the facts."We have filed a FIR against the attendants of Abhishek at Koh-e-Fiza police thana. The manning police post is not sufficient to control such incidents", he said.
