 Knife Blood murder

A person named Rafiq Rasheed, unhappy with the treatment he

was receiving, allegedly murdered the wife of his doctor in Indore
on Thursday. Rasheed was suffering from a skin disease and was
being treated by Dr. Ramkrishna Verma.
The accused went to meet the doctor at his clinic in Malwa Mills
area in Indore on Thursday, but the doctor was out of town.
Therefore, the doctor’s wife Lata Verma, who helps her husband
in the clinic, asked him to come later. Rafiq was not happy with
this, and he started arguing with the woman. It soon escalated
into a heated exchange which culminated with Rasheed stabbing
her with a knife, the Police said. The doctor’s son, Abhishek, who
had rushed in to help his mother, was also knifed by the assailant.
Lata was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital. Abhishek is
believed to be out of danger.

BPS Parihar, Tukoganj city superintendent of police (CSP), told

Hindustan Times, “The accused Rafiq Rasheed (45) was suffering
from an itchy skin disease for which he was getting treatment
from Dr Ramkrishna Verma for the past six months, but without
any results. When he went to the clinic at about 11 a.m, Verma’s
wife Lata informed him that her husband was in Delhi. This
apparently angered Rafiq who got into an altercation with Lata
(50) and stabbed her repeatedly with a knife he was carrying. As
Lata screamed for help, her son Abhishekh (19) came out and
Rafiq stabbed him too and ran away. However, some people who
came hearing the screams managed to nab Rafiq and handed him
over to the police.”

Rasheed is currently being questioned by the Police. It is also

being checked whether he made any attempts to sexually assault
the wife seeing that her husband was not present. As per the
Police, Rasheed was involved in a murder case in 2015 and was
out on bail. According to police, he always carries a knife with
him.
