The perpetrator was a young doctor who had just transferred from a government hospital in a nearby area and had been at the hospital for less than a year. On the day of the incident, the young doctor was giving orders to the young nurse, but it was not clear what the problem was that led to the physical assault.
This incident caused dissatisfaction among the group of nurses who found out about it. They went to complain to the hospital director and arranged to wear black to show their dissatisfaction with the young doctor’s actions.
