In the Nashik district of Maharashtra, a doctor was attacked with a large knife. The victim has been identified as Dr Kailash Rathi, who is the director of Suyog Hospital in Panchvati, Nashik.

Police have initiated an investigation into the incident, but no arrests have been made so far.
The medical community is shocked after seeing the terrifying video of the incident. The attack on Dr. Rathi has created a sense of insecurity and fear among healthcare professionals across the country. Professor Sarvesh Jain of Bundelkhand Medical College in Madhya Pradesh expressed his deep sorrow and anguish over the incident. "The video has shaken doctors nationwide" said Dr Jain to The Pacemakers on phone.
Unconfirmed reports mention that Dr Rathi is presently intubated,on ventilator, hemodynamicaly unstable and is now under sedation struggling for life.
"Horrible, in every attack on doctor,some hidden motive related to patient care is always involved...you never know that someone keeps a bad motive in his mind for years and you forgot that thing on day itself." wrote one social media user on this tragic incident.
"Irrespective of what was the motive, such attacks against doctors must be condemned at the highest level" wrote another doctor on social media.

Indians hate each other for small differences and silly reasons. Education is not helping us to mature emotionally. Even schools teach hatred. Sad state of affair.
