A disturbing incident at the Kalaignar Centenary Super Speciality Hospital in Chennai saw oncologist Dr. Balaji Jagannathan stabbed multiple times by Vignesh, the son of one of the doctor’s former patients. The attack, which occurred during a conversation about his mother’s treatment, was captured in a now-viral video showing the calm demeanor of the attacker immediately after the crime.
In the footage, Vignesh can be seen pulling out a knife, wiping it, and then concealing it before casually walking away from the scene. As the doctor’s screams are heard, security personnel try to intervene, pointing at Vignesh, who initially attempts to flee the scene. Amidst the chaos, some bystanders attempt to attack him, but a woman intervenes, stopping the assault. Vignesh was eventually subdued by hospital security and handed over to the police.
The incident occurred after Vignesh allegedly grew suspicious that Dr. Jagannathan had prescribed the wrong medication for his mother. Dr. Jagannathan, who sustained seven stab wounds, is receiving treatment and is reported to be in stable condition. Vignesh was later arrested and sent to judicial custody after being presented before the Saidapet Court Magistrate.
