Overview
- The ward at Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar was wrecked after patient Bhagwan Nimbore died during treatment, with video showing family members smashing equipment.
- Hospital superintendent Dr. Manohar Bansode said Nimbore arrived in critical condition with severe brain, liver, and kidney damage and was too unstable to transfer.
- Doctors and nurses halted work to demand protection, then resumed after Ulhasnagar mayor Ashwini Nikam and police promised strict action.
- Police registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, India’s new criminal code, and said no arrests had been made as the investigation continued.
- The hospital asked for stronger protection, including an armed guard, a move that could prompt tighter security at other public facilities in the area.
