Coimbatore: In a recent event that shocked the community, a man named Raja was reportedly assaulted by staff and security guards at KMCH Hospital, ultimately leading to his death.

On May 29, eight individuals, including hospital security personnel and administrators of KMCH hospital located on Avinashi road were arrested in connection to the murder case and were placed in Coimbatore Central Jail.
