A woman doctor is in trouble for reportedly attempting to murder her father last year, with the police filing a case against her.
The police registered a case of attempt to murder against the Coimbatore-based doctor for trying to kill her 82-year-old father last year, while he was in the intensive care unit.
The doctor’s act would have gone unnoticed had the CCTV not captured her footage while trying to tamper with her father's life support system, which is now going viral.
The doctor is then seen trying to move out of the hospital room in stealth. A case under different sections of IPC--attempt to murder, extortion and trespass-- has been filed against her.
This follows a complaint filed by her Chennai-based brother at whose hospital the old man was admitted for treatment. He also moved the Tamil Nadu State Medical Council seeking disqualification of his sister as a medical professional.
The ailing man passed away after a few days. Council vice president Dr J A Jayalal said that some enquiries had already been conducted for which the doctor sought time to respond.
