“We emphasise that our decision to halt services has not been taken lightly. We are committed to patient care, but we cannot and will not function under threats to our lives and dignity. Should no appropriate action be taken by the given deadline, the entire responsibility of service disruption and its consequences shall lie with the administration and authorities who failed to ensure safety and justice,” the RDA said.
The doctor’s protest comes a day after the shocking incident of the killing of the two children of an AIIMS-Patna nurse. The two children were burnt alive by miscreants at her home on Thursday (July 31).
The deceased siblings have been identified as Ansh and Anjali, who were found dead at their house in Patna’s Janipur, according to NDTV. The children were identified as the kids of Shobha Devi, a nurse at AIIMS Patna, and Lalan Kumar Gupta, an Election Commission employee.
“We are seriously investigating every angle of the case. The bodies have been sent to the hospital for postmortem,” Sub Inspector Harshvardhan of Janipur Police Station was quoted as saying by ETV Bharat.
Primary investigations indicated that the children were asleep after school when the house was set on fire. However, Lalan Kumar claims that his children were murdered first, and then the house was set on fire to conceal the crime.
The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and dog squad are analysing the crime site for evidence, according to police. So far, no one has been arrested in connection with this case.

पटना में सत्ता संरक्षित अपराधियों ने घर में घुसकर नर्स के दो नाबालिग बेटों को जिंदा जलाया। अपराधियों के हौसले इतने बुलंद है कि अब घर, कार्यालय, अस्पताल कहीं कोई सुरक्षित नहीं।
CM अचेत, बदमाश सचेत! #Crime #Corruption #Bihar— Tejashwi Yadav (@yadavtejashwi) July 31, 2025
