A doctor was allegedly stabbed in the neck by the attendant of a patient at Kalaignar Centenary Super Speciality Hospital (KCSSH) in Guindy, Chennai, on Wednesday (November 13, 2024) morning. The police said they were on the lookout for the attendant, and that four persons have been detained for inquiry.
The doctor who was attacked has been identified as Dr. Balaji Jagannath. He has been admitted in the ICU, and his condition is said to be critical.
According to the police, the suspect, identified as Vignesh of Perungalathur, got an outpatient patient entry pass and entered the Department of Oncology where Dr. Jagannath was on duty at around 10:30 a.m. The suspect was accompanied by a few others, sources said.
They reportedly got into a heated argument with the doctor over the treatment given to Vignesh’s mother Prema, who is suffering from cancer. They held the doctor responsible for her critical condition.
Vignesh, in a fit of rage, allegedly whipped out a knife and slashed the doctor’s neck. Onlookers immediately came to his rescue and rushed him to the ICU.
The hospital is guarded by private security personnel inside, while the police guard the outer area.
