A doctor was allegedly assaulted by a patient's relative inside his cabin at Bhanu Jyot Hospital in Kalyan East, in an incident that was captured on CCTV. The Kolsewadi police have registered a case and begun an investigation, according to a report by the Free Press Journal.
The incident took place on a Saturday night when Dr Yogendra Jaiswal, an orthopaedist, was examining a patient who had come to the outpatient department with a rib fracture. The patient was accompanied by a relative, identified in the complaint as Vineet Jaywant Deshmukh (30), who allegedly became aggressive during the consultation.
According to the complaint, Deshmukh demanded further clarification on dietary rules, dressing schedules, and medication usage. The situation escalated when he allegedly used disrespectful language and questioned Dr Jaiswal's status as a doctor. Other patients and relatives present in the OPD intervened to rescue the doctor, and the commotion is said to have lasted five to six minutes.
The doctor, who subsequently called 112, later told authorities that he was explaining the patient's medication, bandaging, and precautions when the accused became hostile. Dr Jaiswal was quoted as saying, 'I felt terrible that despite doing so much work, we were not getting police support. I wondered why we entered the medical profession.'
Police Action and Investigation
The accused has been charged under Section 118(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and other relevant provisions. The identity of the accused has been reported with some variation across accounts, with some identifying him as Vinit Jaywant Deshmukh or Nitin Deshmukh. The accused's father, the patient, is said to have been prescribed medications with instructions on dosage and dietary restrictions.
Initial reports indicated that a case was filed at the Kolsewadi police station, with police examining the CCTV footage as part of their probe. The Free Press Journal report notes that an arrest has not been reported, and the accused was not taken into custody. The complainant, Dr Jaiswal, has demanded strict action against the accused.
Broader Context of Attacks on Doctors
This incident is the second reported attack on doctors in Maharashtra in recent weeks. The first involved Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre, who was accused of assaulting two doctors and other staff at Shastrinagar Hospital in Dombivli, a civic-run facility in Thane district. That incident went viral on social media, prompting outrage among the medical community.
The Bombay High Court had initially denied bail to Mhatre but later granted it on August 7, with the condition that he stay outside Maharashtra until further orders. Mhatre is currently in Goa, according to reports.
A member of a doctors' association was quoted as saying, 'You may not consider doctors as gods, but at least let us live and work safely. Assault inside an OPD is unacceptable.' Doctors across the region have demanded better security arrangements in hospitals and stricter action against those who attack medical professionals.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
