GHAZIABAD : A doctor here in Narendra Mohan hospital was attacked by a patient
who claimed to have been dissatisfied with his treatment. The attacker himself
had been a medical professional.
The local Sahibabad police named the attacker as Dr Kiran Pal who was admitted
to the hospital for malaria treatment. “Dr Kiran Pal had been in a Government
job as a medical officer in Uttar Pradesh. He had been suffering from mental
instability and last September, contracted malaria and remained under the
treatment of Dr Sanjay Gupta,” SP city, Shiv Shankar Yadav, said.
“Dr Sanjay Gupta administered a neurotoxin during treatment which is very
harmful. His maltreatment would have killed me so I decided to kill him first.
I would have succeeded if my weapon had not malfunctioned,” said Dr Kiran Pal,
who confessed after the incident. “After his murder attempt proved futile, he
reloaded the pistol and fired two shots from in chamber he was confined in. He
then went on to smash things kept in the room with the firearm’s butt,” the SP
city added. “He has been arrested and a criminal case has been registered
against him. The investigation has been initiated to ascertain how he acquired
an unlicensed pistol,” the police official informed.
Police, though, say he had come to get a medical certificate from the hospital
but was turned away by a doctor and that left him angered. He then tried to
kill the doctor under the guise of mistreatment.

A doctor, who police said is suffering from depression, attempted to shoot a
psychiatrist in the OPD of a private hospital in Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, on
Thursday afternoon.
GHAZIABAD : Dr Kiran Pal, who has been arrested, had gone to consult
psychiatrist Dr Sanjeev Gupta claiming he needed treatment for anxiety and
stress, police said. Superintendent of Police S S Yadav said Dr Pal complained
of breathlessness and anxiety, and while Dr Gupta was checking him, he drew a
pistol and attempted to shoot the psychiatrist.
According to Yadav, Dr Pal has claimed that he is suffering from depression
because his divorce proceedings are underway. Dr Pal alleged that Dr Gupta, who
knows his in-laws, had injected him with a “slow-acting poison”.
Police said no one was injured since the hospital staff managed to overpower
and disarm Dr Pal.
“The hospital staff hit Dr Pal with a fire extinguisher and also sprayed it on
his face,” Yadav said. Police said Dr Gupta denied the allegation of poisoning
Dr Pal. Yadav said: “Dr Gupta was going to check Dr Pal’s pulse and blood
pressure when the latter took out a gun and pointed it at Dr Gupta’s head.”
But the gun got stuck and Dr Pal could not shoot. “Dr Gupta ran out of the OPD
and locked the accused inside. The accused managed to reload his gun and fired
into the wall,” Yadav said. “He is mentally unstable and has been suffering
from a psychological ailment for a while,” he said.
