INDORE: A 25-year-old murder accused under trial Ram Dayal under treatment for brain tumour like problems at MY Hospital here was shot dead from point blank range on his head by masked assassin attired as a doctor early on Monday morning. Admitted at Bed No 17 of Suergical Ward No 17 on the premier government hospital`s third floor in the custody of a central jail guard since July 16, Ram Dayal (resident of Handia in Harda dustrict of MP) was rushed to the Surgical ICU. But he couldn`t be saved owing to being shot in the head by the assassin who fled from the scene immediately after the killing, superintendent of police (SP Indore East) OP Tripathi said.

Surprisingly, the incident which happened at around 4.30 am was informed to police around 2 hours later at 6.30 am, despite a police outpost present in hospital premises only.

"We are scanning CCTV grabs from the hospital as well as talking to other patients admitted at the ward where the killing took place," Tripathi added. Ram Dayal, 25, was accused in a murder case and was lodged at Kannod jail in neighbouring Dewas district, before being shifted to Indore Central Jail recently for treatment at the MY Hospital. The sensational film style killing at the biggest government hospital of MP has exposed the state of security at the hospital.
