In Batala when police entered a private hospital to detain a suspected criminal it created a huge uproar. As per the information acquired from the sources, the situation intensified and the police had to come out of the hospital to defend themselves.
On the other hand, the hospital operators have accused the police of hooliganism, but according to the video, the hospital operators also missed no chance of taking the law into their own hands.
Reportedly on last Monday night, a grocery shop and house were robbed and looted in Jhandechak village of Gurdaspur. Police had received information that a suspect involved in the robbery was admitted to Navtej Humanity Hospital in Batala. It has been learned that the police led by DSP of Dinanagar reached the hospital to arrest the suspect.
Dinanagar police asked SHO City Mukhtiar Singh to visit the hospital along with the police party where they were informed that the suspect had been referred to another hospital. On gathering more information about a suspect, SHO Mukhtiar Singh indulged into a verbal spat with hospital operator, Navtej Singh aka Guggu.
The controversy escalated so much that the hospital staff and patients also came out in support of Gugu and started shoving the police officers, trying to surround them and also hit sticks, pelted stones on the police car but the police officers sensing danger left the spot. In this push, a hospital employee also suffered a minor injury.
