On Wednesday morning, a 25-year-old man stabbed a doctor seven times, including in the chest, at a government hospital in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The guy allegedly did this because he suspected the doctor of giving his mother, a cancer patient, the wrong prescription.
The oncologist, who is also a heart patient, suffered injuries to his upper chest and was admitted to the ICU. He is reported to be in a stable condition.
How Did The Crime Take Place?
The incident took place in the OPD at Kalaignar Centenary Multy speciality government hospital in the city when the man posed as an employee of the hospital and attacked the doctor after suspecting that the doctor had prescribed the wrong medicine for his ailing mother, NDTV reported.
He reportedly attempted to escape after the crime, however, was caught and handed over to the Guindy Police Station.
Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian arrived at the hospital after the incident and said that the man committed the crime using a small knife hidden with him, however, denied any security lapses.
Chief Minister MK Stalin has ordered an inquiry into the incident and assured that such attacks would not happen again.
