"However, when the complainant asked for money back, the history-sheeter and the woman allegedly began threatening the assistant doctor with severe consequences. The accused even threatened to kill or break the assistant doctor's limbs, claiming he already had several murder and attempted murder cases against him," the police said, citing the complaint, reports TOI.
