Trauma care unit vandalised, doctor attacked: Amid protests over rape-murder at RG Kar hospital, family members of dead patient attack SSKM hospital

BJP leader Locket Chatterjee took to social media to inform that the accused has connections to a powerful Minister of the Trinamool Congress (TMC).

On Sunday (18th August), the family members of a deceased patient attacked the trauma care unit of SSKM hospital in Kolkata after accusing doctors of medical negligence.

The accused ambushed the healthcare facility, carried out vandalism and physically assaulted an on-duty doctor named Subrata Shur. In visuals shared on social media, the victim could be seen in a wounded state with his face covered in bruises.

The incident took place amid the ongoing protests over the rape and murder of a junior doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.

While speaking about the matter, a police official informed, “His family members came to the hospital and started vandalising the area, alleging that negligence by doctors had led to the youth’s death.”

BJP leader Locket Chatterjee took to social media to inform that the accused has connections to a powerful Minister of the Trinamool Congress (TMC). “This isn’t just an attack on an individual—it’s a direct assault on the very fabric of our society,” she said in a tweet.

“Under TMC’s disastrous rule, Bengal has devolved into a nightmare where safety is a distant dream for everyone—be it women, frontline workers, or ordinary citizens. The reign of terror under this administration continues unabated. How much longer will Bengal endure this chaos and lawlessness?” she added, demanding the resignation of Mamata Banerjee.

A team of police was deployed at the hospital. While some media reports suggested that none of the accused were arrested, a report by ABP Ananda claimed that 3 relatives of the deceased patient were nabbed.
