• AAP leaders demonstrated outside the hospital on Friday demanding an FIR, saying 40 doctors submitted written complaints and seeking meetings with the Delhi police commissioner and the Union home minister.
• A senior police officer said no formal complaint has been received and no FIR has been registered, and the hospital administration declined to comment.
