were upset over the patient's death and alleged that he died due to medical negligence. They claimed that the body of the deceased was not handed over to them on time. Staff at the hospital stated that the relatives also misbehaved with junior doctors. Shortly after, a mob reached NRSMCH at around 11 pm (UTC+05:30) and fought with the junior doctors. The clashes turned the premises into a "battleground" at night and the morning after as doctors at the facility alleged that over 200 people arrived on trucks to assault doctors and destroy hospital property. Another account states that the people arrived in cars wearing helmets to attack doctors at the hospital.
