Meanwhile, the doctor has claimed that no security personnel were present at the site to help her. She also drew attention towards the safety concerns in her written complaint to the hospital’s director.
The situation would have been serious and life threatening if the attacker had been armed with a sharp or harmful object.
According to the reports, the attacker has been identified as Bangaru Raju, a native of Bobbili in Vizianagaram district, who was hospitalised for epilepsy.
The motive of the attack remains unclear.
Following the incident, many members of the medical and non-medical staff staged a protest and demanded safety at the hospital and respective workstations.
