Kottarakkara ∙ ‘I rest in the room next to Casualty. Went to bed at 2 am. Awoken by a loud noise from Casualty. When he reached there, he saw that Sandeep had put Alexkutty on a chair in the TV area and was hitting him on the head and neck. When Sandeep was caught from behind, he hit me above my left elbow. It was only after the impact that blood was seen flowing from there. That’s when I came to know that Sandeep had scissors in his hand and had stabbed himself. One leg of the scissors was attached to the thumb to prevent it from slipping while stabbing.

Sandeep grabs it and runs back and stabs the home guard on the head. Seeing this, the SI of the team who brought Sandeep from Puyapally station came to meet him with a plastic chair, but he fell to the ground. With this, Sandeep turned to stab the SI. Both fell to the ground. SI rolled over. ASI R.Manilal, who is in charge of security, reaches after hearing the sound of fall and screaming. He jumped up and grabbed Manilal by the neck and pinned him against the wall and stabbed him two or three times on the head.

The injured police officers and Dr. Muhammad Shibin also ran out. Every time I tried to subdue Sandeep, he threatened me with scissors. Someone got out and bolted the main entrance of Casualty. Only me and women including doctors were inside.

Then Sandeep walked around the hall moaning about something. Later he came to the chair next to the lift. At that time I was standing next to the glass door inside the casualty. Duty doctor Pournami and Vandana came out after hearing the noise outside.

I put the other female staff in the nurses room and locked it from outside. Dr. Pournami went to the casualty doctors’ room and broke the door. Only Vandana was there later. Vandana was stunned to see the violence and was looking at Sandeep. I told them to escape. In the meantime, I entered the room where the nurses were hiding and held Katak from inside. Seconds later, a groan and the sound of hitting the floor was heard. When I opened the door and looked into the observation room, I saw Vandana lying on the outside and stabbing her on the side of the head.

Meanwhile, Dr. Shibin ran and grabbed Vandana’s leg and tried to save her. Dr. Shibin grabbed Sandeep and pushed him as he tried to get up. He collapsed. Scissors spilled. Meanwhile, Dr. Shibin supported Vandana. Sandeep takes scissors and stabs Vandana’s back again. But Vandana was brought out through the front door of the X-ray room.

Then Sandeep walked out. I followed. I could not get out because the door was locked from outside. Meanwhile, the casualty’s water filter was opened and the blood on the scissors was washed away. The scissors were left in the water. Dropping the scissors, I grabbed Sandeep from behind and pressed him to the floor. And the police came by opening the door.

Sandeep’s hands were tied behind him with thort. Later, the police handcuffed Sandeep. Kottarakkara police arrived and opened the door of casualty.
