BENGALURU: A city-based surgeon has been charged with murdering his newlywed wife, a dermatologist, by allegedly administering repeated overdoses of anaesthesia under the pretext of treatment. Though the alleged murder took place in April this year, police arrested the accused doctor on Tuesday, after forensic science laboratory (FSL) reports confirmed the presence of anaesthesia in the viscera samples of the deceased woman. Marathahalli police from the Whitefield division announced Wednesday the arrest of Dr Mahendra Reddy GS, 31, a surgical resident at the Institute of Gastroenterology Sciences and Organ Transplant (IGOT), on the premises of Victoria Hospital.
