The incident occurred on Monday at the hospital's casualty ward. Accused Sunil Bhambale (22), arrived at the hospital with stab wounds on the left side of his stomach and back. He was also under the influence of alcohol and had even taken drugs. After preliminary check-up, he was asked to go for an X-ray examination in the other ward.
Speaking to mid-day, victim Dr Tarun Shetty said, "When Bhambale returned to the casualty ward with the reports, he was asked to be seated as I was attending to patients who were more serious. Preliminary examination suggested that his wounds were not deep. All of a sudden he picked up a blade from the surgical equipment tray and attacked me."
