Dr Naveen said they were treating a man who sustained serious injuries in the clashes. However, BJP and BJYM supporters numbering about 100-150 attacked the hospital, and damaged a car.

The doctor said one ayah sustained a fracture on her leg in the attack.

“What wrong we have done? the doctor is seen asking, stating that they were just treating a patient, which was their responsibility and duty.

He appealed to the doctors fraternity in the district to respond to the incident and chalk out a future course of action on how to react in such situations. Meanwhile, Medak town remained peaceful on Monday even as BJP enforced a bandh while the Bakrid festival was also celebrated peacefully.

Deploying a huge number of police personnel, the police enforced Section 144 to bring the situation to normalcy. Though Medak MP M Raghunandan Rao planned to meet BJP cadre in Medak jail on Monday morning, IG AV Ranganath suggested him to stay away from Medak until the situation returned completely to normalcy.
