Patient shot dead at GTB Hospital; AAP slams L-G over ‘poor’ law and order
The HinduA 32-year-old patient was shot dead by a teenager inside a ward at the Delhi government-run Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital in Shahdara on Sunday evening. “While three of them waited outside the hospital, one went inside to carry out the murder,” a source said, adding that Riyazuddin was a drug addict and had no criminal record. “There were no metal detectors at GTB Hospital due to which the attacker went straight to the third floor, where the deceased was admitted, while concealing the weapon,” an officer said. The GTB Hospital’s Resident Doctors’ Association said they decided to sit on an indefinite fast as concerns about their safety have not be addressed by the Delhi government. ‘Critical failures’ “Despite previous appeals for enhanced security measures, the unfortunate event underscores a critical failure in ensuring a secure environment for both patients and healthcare providers,” it said in a statement.
