The security staff, who were suspicious of her behaviour as a senior neurosurgeon, informed the authorities. After checking the CCTV footage, it became clear that she had been roaming around in places, including the canteen. She went missing in the meantime. The female security staff caught the woman later, when she tried to escape by sneaking into an autorickshaw in front of the multi-speciality block in disguise, reports the Kerala Kaumudi.

The Medical College Police have registered a case, and the woman is currently under interrogation. Her real identity is unknown, as she has reportedly used multiple aliases. She claimed that her husband works at Sree Chitra, but the police could not verify this.

The motive behind her visit to the hospital in disguise is still unknown, and police are conducting further interrogation to determine the circumstances and intent.
