As the patient was suffering from a heart attack because of high blood pressure, he breathed his last after an injection pushed by the doctor.

After the declaration of death, more than 400 workers came out of their homes and started to attack the doctor.

The mob became so violent that they did not allow carrying him to an ambulance which was waiting outside.
