The number of coronavirus positive cases in Indore has now jumped to 76 with 13 new cases reported in the city on Wednesday. Among the latest victims of the virus is a gynecologist from the city’s MY Hospital who has now been admitted to Aurobindo Hospital.

The district administration on Wednesday claimed it was trying to ensure complete lockdown to break the chain of virus spread even as a team of doctors and civic officials were attacked by an unruly mob in Tatpatti Bakhat and Silawatpura area.

The team escaped unhurt as police stepped in to control the mob. Later, police claimed that the mob was controlled after interacting with the elders of the community and an assurance that no one would be taken for isolation without informing the locals.

Police also claimed that a case had been registered and that suitable action would be taken against the hoodlums after identification.
