NEW DELHI: Family members of a patient who died at SSKM hospital in Kolkata on Sunday, vandalised the trauma care center amid the ongoing outrage over the rape and murder of a post-graduate trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, police said.
The incident occurred when the patient's relatives, upon arriving at the hospital, accused the staff of medical negligence, blaming it for their loved one's death and vandalised the facility in rage, they added.
"His family members came to the hospital and started vandalising the area, alleging that negligence by doctors had led to the youth's death," a police official said.
A large police team intervened to defuse the situation, but no arrests have been made yet.
