HYDERABAD: A 25-year-old nurse has been arrested for allegedly killing her parents by administering sedative injections, using her professional training to carry out the crime, in Yacharam village of Bantwaram mandal in Vikarabad district. Police said Surekha worked as a nurse at a private hospital in Sangareddy and had access to injectable medication and the knowledge to administer it. According to Bantwaram police, Surekha was in a relationship with a man she had met through social media. As the man belonged to a different caste, her parents opposed the relationship, which led to repeated arguments at home. On the night of January 24, she is said to have injected her parents with the sedative under the pretext of treating body pain.
