PUNE: The Samarth police on Friday night arrested two men on the charge of attacking two doctors over a dispute on visiting a patient at his residence.
The incident occurred at Matruseva Hospital in Nana Peth around 4pm on Friday. The police have identified those arrested as Satish Ahuja (40) and Laxman Bhambani (59) from Ambedkar Road. The action was taken following a complaint lodged by one of the aggrieved doctor, Kishor Kumar Shah.
“The duo met Shah at the hospital and asked him to visit their ailing uncle at the latter’s residence. The doctor demanded a fee of Rs 1,000 for making the visit, following which the suspects entered into an argument and assaulted Shah,” senior inspector Balkrishna Kadam from Samarth police said.
“The duo threw money at the doctor and abused his other colleague. The duo damaged a glass door in a fit of rage before exiting the hospital premises,” Kadam said.
When contacted, Shah said his lawyer had advised him to not talk to media persons before disconnecting the call.
