"Dr. Bansal was a good friend of mine, he saved lakhs of lives. I blame SP government for not providing security to him. Incidents like these have happened in the past with him and he had appealed for security which was ignored by the state government that provides shelters to goons and criminals. I am surprised the attackers haven't been caught yet. His death has pained me. I spoke to the police officials to speed up their hunt and have asked them to scan the CCTV videos but it is unfortunate that they haven't been able to do much till now, Maurya told ABP News. Murder details: The police have formed four teams to probe the murder of the Allahabad doctor. Angry over the murder, the doctors of Uttar Pradesh have announced to protest the incident with a strike on Friday. The incident took place on Thursday at 7 pm in the Jeevan Jyoti Hopsital.
