In a shocking incident in a Government hospital a doctor tried to attack his senior and inject HIV infected blood in an act of revenge.
The incident at the Prodattur Government hospital in Kadapa district has left the other employees shocked.
The police have booked an attempt to murder case against the orthopaedic doctor David Raju and took him into custody after he made an attempt to jab hospital superintendent with HIV infected blood.
Police said that the two were locked in a running feud as lakshmi Prasad chided David Raju on many occasions for dereliction of duty.
“Despite working honestly and discharging duties he was harassing me”, David Raju told the police.
According to hospital employees David Raju went to the special ward on top floor and collected blood for an AIDS patient in a syringe.
Then he went to the ground floor office where superintendent was allotting duties to the security staff. One of the employees who spotted the syringe loaded with blood in David’s hand alerted the superintendent. Even as David Raju lunged at him lakshmi Prasad started running and in the melee the infected blood spilled on Dr lakshmi Prasad’s shirt and floor.
Dr David was over powered by the hospital staff and the senior officials were alerted.
A complaint was lodged with the Prodattur police station where an attempt to murder case was booked. Kadapa district collector T Babu Rao has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
