“They (the accused) will not obey the law. Neither they will accept the system as they are the enemies of humanity. What they have done to women health workers is a heinous crime. They are being slapped with the NSA. We will not spare them,” said Aditynath in a statement.

“An incident like Indore wherein the doctors were attacked should not be seen anywhere in the state. For this, we will take whatever action is required by law,” he added, according to ANI.

The patients have now been shifted to Raj Kumar Goel Institute of Technology where they remain under quarantine.
