In most cases, violence against doctors done by either patient or patient’s attendants: Centre
The central government, addressing one of the key demands of protesting doctors, put out the directive as it sometimes takes days to file an FIR, which further delays action in cases of assault against health care workers, including doctors. “Recently, it has been observed that violence has become common against doctors and other health care staff in government hospitals. A number of health care workers suffer physical violence during the course of their duty. Many are threatened or exposed to verbal aggression. Most of this violence is done by either patient or patient’s attendants,” read the order issued by the Union ministry of health and family welfare.
Mamata Banerjee is trying to mislead the public: Nirbhaya’s mother

She should have taken strict action against the culprits while discharging her responsibility as the head of the state. She should resign because she has failed to handle the situation.”
