Karachi: Hindu doctor found dead in ICU under mysterious circumstances

A 32-year-old Hindu doctor, Anil Kumar, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in the Intensive Care Unit of a hospital in Karachi on 30 July.

The doctor was found dead sitting in a chair on Friday, after he had gone to the ICU early in the morning, senior police official Naeemuddin said.

"His death is being investigated as he was found dead in mysterious circumstances," he said.

According to the official, Kumar was discovered after he did not answer to persistent knocks on the door. The door was broken down and he was found dead sitting in his chair. A syringe was found at the spot.

"It appears he had administered an injection on his hand as it was bandaged," Naeemuddin said.

The body was shifted to the hospital's mortuary where doctors reserved his cause of death for chemical examination while the syringe has also been sent to a forensic laboratory for examination.
