Chennai doctor brutally stabbed in hospital by patient's son
Kalaignar Multi-speciality Hospital in Chennai was stabbed by a man on Wednesday morning at around 10:15 am in the Oncology department, TOI reported on Wednesday.
The accused, a 26-year-old man, entered the hospital posing as a patient to meet Dr. Balaji Jaganathan, a medical oncologist. Upon entering the doctor’s room, the man attacked Dr. Jaganathan with a knife, stabbing him in the neck, head, and upper chest. The doctor also sustained injuries to his ear while defending himself.
Hospital staff apprehended the attacker as he attempted to flee the scene and is currently in custody at the Guindy police station.
Preliminary investigations reveal the suspect’s mother received cancer treatment at the same hospital between May and November of this year. The suspect, accompanied by three others, allegedly planned to take revenge from the doctor regarding his mother’s unsatisfactory treatment outcome.
Dr. Jaganathan is currently undergoing surgery and remains in critical condition. “He has suffered multiple injuries to the scalp, head, neck, and ear. We are assessing the injuries. His condition is critical,” TOI quoted Hospital Director Dr. L Parthasarathy as saying.
