KHAIRPUR: The emergency ward of Khairpur’s Civil Hospital turned into a battleground on Sunday after relatives of a patient trashed the ward and broke the ambulance.

According to media reports, the patient’s relatives claimed that they brought her to the hospital after an accident but a doctor refused to attend her, saying “his shift had ended”.

The closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the incident showed that the relatives of the patient were breaking tables and chairs in the ward and going on to smash the ambulance before leaving the hospital with the patient.

The hospital administration said that the patient was under care when the relatives started wreaking havoc in the hospital.

The police have arrested two people in connection with the case and also have filed a case against them and others.
