The patient was Ajmer, a 20-year-old woman who reported experiencing Guillain-Barré syndrome and was on a ventilator since April. An attendant group accused the doctor of the death of the patient and supposedly tried to beat him up. The matter got out of control and the hospital employees and security guards had to step in and avoid additional damage. According to eyewitnesses, the atmosphere was volatile and the shouting and aggressive behaviour hampered the operations of the emergency ward. These cases are not rare and have become an increasing trend of patient anger towards medical workers, which is often based on grief, misinformation, or distrust.

The police were contacted later by the hospital authorities and more security was tightened to avert such incidents. The event has also triggered the medical community to call out again on more stringent laws and protection towards healthcare workers. The associations of doctors have reiterated many times that violence is not only a threat to life but also to the morale of the givers of life. The episode in Udaipur underscores the necessity to enhance the communication with the family of patients and the security in hospitals to provide the medical personnel with the safe working environment.
