Qadir Ali Razzaq Ali, who was brought there by the police for a medical examination, has been identified as the accused. Bhumre was on duty when the assault occurred at the Wardha health centre.
The event happened in front of the cops, who then apprehended Razzaq Ali and moved him aside. The entire episode was captured on CCTV. Police had taken Razzaq Ali, a native of the same hamlet with an extensive criminal record, to the facility for a medical examination prior to his court appearance.
Bhumre can be seen filling out paperwork at her desk while the accused sits on a stool across from her. A police officer is seated on a stool beside him. However, he shortly leaves the room while another cop stands near the desk. Another official is also spotted in the room briefly before he also left.

The occurrence has led to protests by government medical officers. The doctors have asked for strict action against the perpetrators and the accompanying police personnel, threatening to close the OPD (Outpatient Department). In a memo outlining their concerns, members of the Gazetted Medical Officers’ Association met with Wardha District Collector Vanmathi C.
The state-level organisation MAGMO (Maharashtra State Gazetted Medical Officers Association) has also been made aware of the incident. Following discussions with state-level representatives, the district association stated that the five policemen escorting the culprit had neglected to take sufficient safety measures to stop the attack, highlighting their recklessness in carrying out their official responsibilities.
The group has insisted that the accused must face serious charges and that the involved police officers should also be disciplined. It has issued a warning that OPD services will remain closed until action is initiated in the matter.
