An incident occurred between the night of Wednesday, November 5 and Thursday, November 6 at the pharmacy of Dr A. G. Jeetoo Hospital. A 31-year-old individual caused panic by attempting to assault a pharmacist with a metal bar. The police quickly intervened and subdued the suspect, who was later released on bail after questioning.

The events began around 2:30 AM. A police officer assigned to the hospital was alerted and intervened to calm the situation. However, the man became aggressive, punching the officer in the face and threatening him with the metal bar he was wielding.
