The incident occurred on September 22, 2018, when the husband and daughter of a pregnant woman beat up doctors at Peking University First Hospital for refusing a cesarian delivery.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Police stress &#039;zero tolerance&#039; in attack on doctors\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O_tZPKtGcms?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Security footage from the hospital show Dr. He being punched and kicked in the head and stomach by the patient&#8217;s family members, leaving him with multiple fractures, according to his colleague,&#8221; said a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.cgtn.com\/news\/3d3d514e3559444f7a457a6333566d54\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report<\/a> published by CGTN.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bjnews.com.cn\/news\/2018\/10\/13\/510743.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beijing News<\/a>, the doctor suffered a &#8220;fractured jaw and eye sockets and had been hospitalised for treatment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An old video from China was therefore shared as an employee of Zee News assaulting a doctor. It is noteworthy that Neha (@ShantiseAshanTi) was pointed out by several users that the video is not from India. In response to a user who asked her for &#8220;proof&#8221;, she said, &#8220;We will provide proof may be after a few lakh views and if found wrong will issue regret statement like news channels do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">We will provide proof may be after a few lakh views and if found wrong will issue regret statement like news channels do<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Neha (@ShantiseAshanTi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShantiseAshanTi\/status\/1262725332886528000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In her original tweet Neha had written something similar \u2014 &#8220;Can we share this like a few thousand times before checking for authenticity like news channels do.&#8221; It is likely that the Twitter user put out the video to mock the common practice in mainstream media, including Zee News, where unverified information is aired and later taken down with (or without) clarifications. After Nizamuddin Markaz in Delhi was identified as a COVID-19 hotspot, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.in\/entry\/news-channels-coronavirus-tablighi-jamaat_in_5e859b09c5b692780507aeab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zee News<\/a> had compared Tablighi Jamaat with Al Qaeda and suicide bombers while sourcing the &#8216;information&#8217; to WikiLeaks. Alt News had earlier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/zee-news-publishes-2015-news-as-recent-with-false-communal-narrative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">published a fact-check<\/a> on an article where Zee News falsely claimed that Muslim restauranteurs in Britain served human faeces to non-Muslim customers. However, pushing out deliberate misinformation cannot be the strategy to fight the issue of rampant misinformation on mainstream media and social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter user Neha @ShantiseAshanTi shared a CCTV footage of a man assaulting a medical worker inside a hospital and wrote, &#8220;Viral video of Zee News staff member assaulting doctor refusing to get tested.
