Another relative said that the doctor hit Mr Madan's differently-abled brother after which a fight broke out. "We asked the doctor to refer him to another hospital. But he demanded Rs 10,000 from us. We gave him Rs 5,000 but he refused to do anything until we give him Rs 5,000 more," the relative said.

The footage showed the doctor sitting on the floor and arguing with the mob. He then hit a man, allegedly the patient's brother, sitting next to him after which the family members charged at him.
