In a dramatic incident at Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) on Monday, popular YouTuber and BJP leader Manish Kashyap was allegedly assaulted and held hostage for several hours by junior doctors. The confrontation led to chaos within the hospital premises before police intervened and brought the situation under control.
According to reports, the altercation began when Kashyap visited PMCH to advocate on behalf of a patient. A heated verbal exchange with junior doctors quickly turned physical. Eyewitnesses claim that Kashyap was allegedly detained for nearly three hours inside the hospital before bystanders stepped in to calm tensions.
Hospital staff accused Kashyap of misbehaving with doctors, which they say provoked the altercation. However, the YouTuber has denied any misconduct, asserting that he was attacked without reason and that the confrontation was instigated by the doctors themselves.
Following the incident, both parties lodged FIRs at the local police station. Supporters of Kashyap allege he was unjustly targeted, while hospital authorities maintain that staff acted in self-defense.
A History of Controversies
Manish Kashyap, a native of Muhnawa Dumari village in West Champaran district, graduated in civil engineering from Pune in 2016 before launching his YouTube channel Sach Tak News in 2018. Known for his bold reporting style and frequent confrontations with officials, Kashyap has often found himself in legal trouble.
In recent years, he has faced multiple allegations, including the creation of fake videos about Bihari migrants in Tamil Nadu, damaging a colonial-era statue in Bettiah in 2019, and allegedly assaulting a Kashmiri shopkeeper following the Pulwama terror attack.
This latest incident adds to the growing list of controversies surrounding Kashyap, as police continue to investigate the circumstances behind the clash at PMCH.
