A surgeon has been arrested on the charges of killing his dermatologist wife with an overdose of anaesthesia in Bengaluru, police said on Wednesday.
The incident occurred on May 26, 2024. A complaint in this regard was initially filed by Nikita M. Reddy, the victim’s sister. The police registered it as an unnatural death case. Following a fresh complaint by the victim's father, Muni Reddy K., on Tuesday, the police re-registered an FIR under Section 103 of the BNS Act.
Victim's father, Muni Reddy, said, "Kruthika trusted her husband completely and believed him. The medical knowledge of her husband, which should have saved lives, was used to destroy hers. Our family seeks the harshest punishment for this premeditated act and justice for our daughter."
