The police on Thursday filed an FIR against a 16-year-old girl who had allegedly slapped a nurse at a Kurla hospital. The incident sparked protests by healthcare workers at the BMC-run facility.

Reports stated that the nurse told the police that the patient’s relatives were asked to wait outside while the staff carried out sanitation work inside the women’s ward. However, the patient’s behaviour became aggressive and she started shouting and verbally abusing the nurse, got discharged against medical advice and then walked in with her relatives and slapped the nurse.
