They accused the doctors of committing negligence.

However, police failed to control the protestors, forcing the doctors to escape the hospital from a backdoor.
Dasti also reached the scene and joined the protest.
Later, the hospital administration assured protestors that action would be taken against the doctors, after which they ended the protest.
However, doctors alleged that they were tortured by the protestors on Dasti’s order.
