Bengaluru: In a shocking incident, a general surgeon from Victoria Hospital has been arrested for allegedly killing his wife, a dermatologist, by administering a lethal dose of anaesthesia.
According to the police, the doctor killed his wife six months ago but initially tried to portray her death as natural. However, the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report confirmed the presence of an anaesthetic substance in her organs, prompting the police to arrest him.
What became more suspicious was that after the deceased doctor’s family claimed the accused had tried to enter the autopsy room, seeking permission to witness his wife’s post-mortem. Finding his behaviour suspicious, they insisted on a detailed forensic examination. They stated that he intended to disrupt the procedure.
