Hospital property vandalised

Tension prevailed in Phagwara Civil Hospital when the hospital property was vandalised as some persons scuffled on hospital premises. On a complaint lodged by Meenu Bedi, the doctor on duty, the police registered a case under Section 353/186 of the IPC and Section 4 of the Punjab Property Damage Act against unknown persons on Saturday evening. A patient, Mulakh Raj, who came for treatment also sustained injuries in the clash of two groups. A resident of Mohalla Bhagatpura here, Avtar Singh, and Rakesh came to the civil hospital for treatment after a clash with Amrinder and Ashutosh who too arrived later at the hospital. Here, both groups again indulged in violence and some furniture of the hospital was damaged.—OC
