Milari could be seen in the footage approaching the doctor through a door and striking him in the face. A man steps in and restrains her movements by holding her hands. He keeps holding her hands as he leads her out the door and up the stairs. She yells as she descends the stairs.

The doctor reportedly requested that the daughter of the chief minister schedule an appointment before arriving for the checkup.
