In a horrifying incident, a 17-year-old girl was brutally murdered in broad daylight just outside the Trauma Centre of the district hospital in Madhya Pradesh’s Narsinghpur district on June 27, as onlookers including medical staff and guards stood frozen. The deceased has been identified as Sandhya Chaudhary, a Class 12 student.
The gruesome killing was caught on CCTV footage that surfaced Monday, showing how Sandhya’s former lover, Abhishek Koshti, confronted her in public, spoke briefly, then suddenly attacked her with a knife, slashing her throat. The attack occurred in full view of patients, attendants, and hospital personnel, none of whom attempted to intervene.
A nursing officer at the scene told police, “He warned me not to interfere or he would kill me too.” Koshti, after attempting to kill himself, fled the hospital on a motorcycle.
