Mumbai: In a shocking incident at Mumbai's KEM Hospital, a 26-year-old doctor was allegedly attacked with a knife over a suspected love affair with a 23-year-old female colleague. The Bhoiwada police have registered a case of attempted murder against three accused identified as Farid Khan, Nabeel, and an unidentified person and have begun further investigation.
About The Case
According to the FIR, the victim, Dr. Vishal Harindra Yadav, 26, resides with his family at Achole Cross Road, Nalasopara (East). After completing his MBBS in Russia in 2023, Dr. Yadav joined KEM Hospital's CVTS (Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery) department as a House Officer in August 2025.
While working in the same department, Dr. Yadav became acquainted with a 23-year-old female perfusionist. Frequent work interactions led to friendship and later, according to the FIR, a romantic relationship. Dr. Yadav told police that the two had been in a relationship for the past three weeks, communicating regularly via phone, WhatsApp, and Instagram.
The relationship allegedly came to the attention of the woman's family, leading to the attack. On October 29, around 10:30 a.m., Dr. Yadav was on duty outside Ward No. 31 when the woman's brother Farid Khan, his friend Nabeel, and another unknown person confronted him.
Upon confirming Dr. Yadav's identity, Farid allegedly engaged him in conversation, suggesting they wanted to "sort out the matter" and asked him to accompany them to their house in Sewri.
When Dr. Yadav refused and insisted on speaking with the woman first, the trio led him near the Hanuman Temple close to the hospital, continuing to pressure him to come with them. After he again declined, an argument broke out.
Farid and his accomplices allegedly began abusing and assaulting him before Farid pulled out a knife, shouting, "We are very bad, we won't spare you today, we will kill you and Farid stabbed Dr. Yadav on the back and the upper part of his left arm (biceps) before all three suspects fled the scene.
Following the attack, the Bhoiwada police rushed to the scene and promptly moved the injured doctor to KEM Hospital for treatment.
Based on Dr. Yadav's complaint, the police have registered a case against Farid Khan, Nabil, and the unidentified third person under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) Act. Further investigation into the matter is ongoing, an official said.
