St Stephens Hospital Resident Doctor Murder: CBI takes over probe
New Delhi: The CBI has taken over investigation into the killing of a resident doctor at the prestigious St Stephen's Hospital here last year allegedly by his colleague who is absconding ever since, the officials said today.
The Delhi High Court had handed over the matter to the CBI last month after the Delhi Police had failed to nab the alleged culprit who was a student at the hospital.
Shashwat Pandey, a resident student of Radio Diagnosis department, was found dead with his throat slit at a retiring room in the hospital on August 25 last year.
Multiple knife wounds were found on the body of Pandey during the autopsy, the official said.
Gupta and Pandey were on good terms and used to live together. But the relationship soured between them when Pandey became friends with a nurse and did not give much time to Gupta. The two developed differences and Gupta then hatched a plan to kill Pandey, police had said.
