A postgraduate student at the Government Vellore Medical College Hospital (GVMCH) in Tamil Nadu, India, was reportedly attacked by a group of people on Monday. The image you sent shows the student explaining the condition of a patient to attendants at the hospital.
The student was reportedly attacked outside the hospital premises. The reason for the attack is not yet known. The Tamil Nadu Government Doctors' Association (TNGDA) has condemned the attack and demanded the immediate arrest of the attackers under the Hospital Protection Act.
The Hospital Protection Act, 2005, is a law in India that was enacted to protect doctors and other healthcare workers from violence. The Act provides for a maximum penalty of seven years in prison for assaulting a healthcare worker.
The TNGDA has called for a protest on Tuesday to demand justice for the student. The association has also threatened to go on strike if the attackers are not arrested soon.
This is a developing story, and I will provide more information as it becomes available.
