Bollywood Celebs Condemn Mob Attack On Healthcare Workers In Indore, Call It Disturbing!

Rana Dagubbati had rightly said that doctors are no less than superheros, remember? They save lives. While you all sit at home in an attempt to ensure your safety, they are working tirelessly to save lives of coronavirus patients. The least we can do at the moment is be respectful to them and appreciate how they are risking their own lives for all of us.

But what happened in Indore recently is horrible, disturbing and shameful in equal measures.

Healthcare workers and civic officials were attacked and pelted with stones by angry locals. The doctors were reportedly trying to trace a person who had come in contact with a COVID-19 patient earlier, or let's just say they were doing their job.?

The video showing these healthcare personnel in personal protective equipment (PPE) has gone viral on social media. The staff is seen running away from the angry mob which is shouting abuses, throwing sticks and stones and chasing them.

Expressing grief and anger on the situation, Bollywood celebrities called it "most disturbing".

If reports are to be believed, a case of rioting has been registered against the unknown mob. This wasn't the first attack in India against healthcare workers. Earlier, similar cases were reported in Telangana and Gujarat.?

Two women doctors out of the team of five healthcare workers have reportedly suffered injuries on their legs.
