According to the accident details, the doctor duo was beaten up on Wednesday evening citing doctors' negligence behind the demise of Rajesh Pradhan,  41, of Hetauda-12, Padampokhari.


It may be noted that a group of people trashed doctors for their ignorance in providing treatment to dengue-infected Pradhan a month ago.


Patient Pradhan was referred to the Chitwan Medical College in Bharatpur after his treatment was not possible at Sancho Hospital.


Pradhan succumbed to dengue infection in the medical college. An irate group had manhandled the doctors.


Police today arrested Pradhan's wife and daughter along with two other persons for their involvement in beating up doctors.


Meanwhile, investigation into the incident was underway, police said.
