Just months after an attacker tried to assault a doctor with an iron rod at MB Hospital, the city of Udaipur has witnessed another horrific, coordinated attack on doctors.
On June 2, 2026, Udaipur a violent mob turned JP Orthopedic Hospital into a battleground, proving once again that without a stringent Central Law, doctors in India are treating patients with a target on their backs.
Following an orthopedic surgery for a road accident victim, relatives and community members who had not yet regained consciousness. Instead of waiting for medical protocols or seeking legal recourse, a violent crowd stormed the hospital, smashing glass doors, destroying property, and physically assaulting the treating doctor.
When the President of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) Udaipur arrived at the scene to mediate and de-escalate the tension, the mob turned on him. He was brutally attacked, and his clothes were torn.
The riot escalated to the point where an entire contingent of police from three different stations (Bhupalpura, Pratap Nagar, and Surajpole), led by Additional SP Umesh Ojha, had to be deployed just to disperse the mob and clear the traffic jam caused by the protestors outside.
This was not a sudden burst of emotional grief. This was a coordinated, violent siege on a healthcare facility. When a mob feels empowered to tear the clothes off an IMA President—a senior representative of the medical community—it is a clear sign that criminals have zero fear of local state laws.
An attack of this scale doesn't just endanger the doctor targeted; it puts every single patient in that hospital, including those in critical care, at immediate risk. If any patient dies now because the medical care was hampered, will these rioters be booked for murder.
How can doctors operate with precision when they are worried about a mob shattering the glass doors of the operation theater?
An appeal to all parents who are preparing their kids for NEET exam. - watch these videos before you send your kids to become a doctor. In India, any random person can enter a hospital and assault a doctor.
Stop Treating Riots as Petty Crimes: We have seen this pattern repeat in Udaipur from April to June. State protections are failing. Local police deployment is just a temporary band-aid on a hemorrhaging system.
Anyone who organizes, participates in, or instigates a mob attack on a hospital or healthcare worker must be booked under non-bailable, anti-terror equivalent laws. Vandalizing a hospital and attacking a doctor must carry consequences so severe that no one would dare raise a hand against a medical professional again.
People of Udaipur and Rajasthan must Be ashamed if they don't condemn this attack.
