Doctor-patient brawl A handshake and an embrace on Tuesday marked an end to the Dec 22 assault case at Shimla’s Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) involving sacked senior resident Dr Raghav Narula and patient Arjun Panwar. Narula and Panwar, in the office of CM’s principal media adviser Naresh Chauhan, apologised to each other and to the people of Himachal Pradesh for the inconvenience caused due to their scuffle, which resulted in a doctors’ strike across the state. Chauhan termed the episode unfortunate, adding that dialogue had helped resolve the issue. In a public gesture of reconciliation, the doctor and the patient shook hands and embraced, stating that the scuffle unfolded suddenly and without prior intent. Narula’s mother emphasised unity, saying both the doctor and the patient were like her children. Panwar thanked Himachal govt and the public for their support and expressed regret for the disruption caused. He also light-heartedly mentioned attending Narula’s upcoming wedding, if invited. Panwar’s father credited CM Sukhu for ensuring justice and welcomed the peaceful resolution.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosJaishankar To Attend Khaleda Zia’s Funeral In Dhaka Amid Strained India-Bangladesh TiesDRDO Successfully Tests Pinaka Long-Range Guided Rocket In Odisha, To Be Inducted In Indian Army’UPSC Is Complete Waste Of Time’: PM’s Economic Advisor Sanjeev Sanyal On AI Era EducationHindu Guard Killed By Colleague In Bangladesh, Third Death In Days Raises Minority Safety Fears’Deeply Concerned’: PM Modi Reacts To Reports Of Attack On Putin’s House, Ukraine Responds“No Racial Angle”: SSP Rules Out Alleged Slurs in Angel Chakma KillingCongress’ Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury Flags Attacks on Migrant Workers to PM Modi’Will Rid Bengal Of Infiltrators’: Amit Shah Slams Mamata Banerjee’s 14-Year Rule, Sounds Poll BugleFrom Defence To Civil Skies: HAL’s Dhruv-NG Helicopter Takes Flight In India’s Aviation PushJapanese Tourist Harassed in Varanasi on Christmas, Netizens Slam ‘Mob Culture’123Photostories5 iconic New Year markets in the USA that keep the holiday magic alive for long!3 reasons to consume Papaya smoothie and the right way to make it as per AIIMS doctor10 types of Pasta dishes from around the world6 best indoor exercises for people who are planning to build muscle strength‘Dhurandhar’: Saumya Tandon aka Ulfat Hasin Baloch says, ‘Aditya Dhar was always on my wish list’ – Exclusive7 weekly routines common among people who live to 100Healthiest fruits of 2025: These 5 fruits are richest in key nutrientsWhich Hindu Idol You Should Bring Home On January 1, 2026From Osho to Swami Vivekananda – Real names of spiritual leadersWinter Special: How to make Maharashtrian Kala Sukha Mutton for dinner123Hot PicksIndigo flight DisruptionsPAN-Aadhaar link statusKhaleda ZiaGold rate todayIncome Tax RefundBahrain Golden Visa 2025Bank Holidays DecemberTop TrendingErika KirkTravis KelceJoel EmbiidAlex Rodriguez and Jaclyn Cordeiro Net WorthStefon DiggsMagic Johnson vs Shaquille O Neal Net WorthPhiladelphia 76ers vs Memphis GrizzliesPopeyes Streaming BundlesJake Paul and Jutta Leerdam Net WorthSidney Crosby Lifestyle
