“Deadly Shooting at Delhi’s Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital Sparks Security Concerns and Doctors’ Strike”

A serious incident took place at Delhi’s Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital on the evening of Sunday, July 14, when 32-year-old Riazuddin was shot dead. Riazuddin, who was admitted to the hospital on June 23 for treatment of a stomach infection, was shot in Ward No. 24 of the hospital. Riazuddin, who was injured in the incident, later died. The murder came to light when an 18-year-old youth came to visit him at the hospital and suddenly started firing bullets at him. Police officers present at Ward No. 24 at the time of the incident reported that they received a PCR call at around 4:20 PM, informing them that a patient had been shot dead and the assailant had fled. Upon reaching the scene, the police team recovered five empty bullet shells, three of which had hit Riazuddin.

After the incident, Riazuddin’s wife claimed that her husband was a victim of mistaken identity. The police have started a thorough investigation into the case and are trying to identify the suspect by examining CCTV footage. Additional DCP Vishnu Sharma of Shahdara said that their team reached the spot and confirmed that the deceased was Riazuddin. They are trying to determine if there was any enmity or motive behind the attack. This shooting incident has also created a sense of fear and insecurity among the resident doctors at the hospital. The Resident Doctors’ Association of the University College of Medical Sciences and Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital expressed deep sorrow over the incident. They announced a strike from July 15, stating that it would continue until security measures are enhanced. During this time, only emergency services will remain operational.

This murder in the hospital’s surgery ward has raised serious questions about healthcare security. Following the incident, police officials have taken steps to increase security and instructed the hospital administration to tighten security measures. The police reported that based on the evidence collected from the scene, the investigation is ongoing and efforts are being made to identify and arrest the suspect soon. Riazuddin’s murder has shaken not only the hospital staff and doctors but also the patients and their relatives. This incident has highlighted the lack of security in the hospital and forced the administration to reassess and strengthen their security arrangements. The strike by the resident doctors and their demands have posed a new challenge to the hospital administration and the government. This incident has raised serious questions about Delhi’s healthcare system and security measures. The administration needs to understand the gravity of this case and take swift and effective steps to prevent such incidents in the future, ensuring that patients seeking treatment and doctors working in the hospital feel safe.
