0MUMBAI: Police have arrested a doctor in western India for allegedly injecting six people with a lethal overdose and burying most of the bodies at his farmhouse, an officer said Tuesday. Santosh Pol, dubbed “Doctor Death” by local media, was arrested in a town in Maharashtra state last week during a police investigation into the disappearance of one of his victims. We have recovered four bodies from his farmhouse and one from (outside) his (town) residence,” police inspector Padmakar Ghanvat told Agence France-Presse. Last year police arrested an Indian doctor accused of trying to set a patient’s body on fire after he died during treatment. Earlier this month Indian police arrested the head of an upmarket hospital in Mumbai and four doctors on suspicion of organ trafficking.
