Palwal, Jan 3: A retired lieutenant of Indian Army, who was trained to kill soldiers of other countries, left a trail of six bodies of innocent Indians in an hour-long rampage with an iron rod as the weapon, in Haryana’s Palwal early on Tuesday.

The accused, Naresh Dhankar (45), was finally arrested from outside his estranged wife’s house. Police said all six murders were committed between 2.45 am and 4 am on Tuesday.

Among Dhankar's victims were a pregnant woman — his first victim, whom he killed by sneaking into a city hospital around2.45am — four security guards and a vagabond. None of the dead were apparently known to the killer.

They were attacked one by one, as Dhankar went in search of more victims after each murder. By the time cops caught up with Dhankar around 4am, the city was on red alert to capture the serial killer who had been identified in CCTV footage from the hospital. Dhankar was thrashed by the public and police, leading to a brain haemorrhage. He is battling for life at Delhi's Safdarjung hospital.

The cops are unclear about the motive or the trigger for the bloodbath. They suspect he was mentally unstable and depressed, possibly because of marital discord. It all started with Dhankar arrived at Palwal City hospital armed with a rod. He went to the first floor — as if looking for someone — and attacked the woman sleeping on the bench. He first woke her up by removing her quilt and then smashed her face and head with the rod. The woman, Anjum, died on the spot.

After the sixth killing, Dhankar walked to his in-laws' house in Adarsh Colony nearby. There, he called out to his estranged wife and son. When nobody responded, he started kicking the door. Hearing the ruckus, one of his wife's relatives, Ashish, came out of an adjacent house and confronted him. This was around 3.45am, a full hour after the first killing.

Dhankar attacked him as well but Ashish managed to run away and lock himself in his house. By this time, almost the entire city police force was out looking for Dhankar. Outside the hospital, Manshiram's body was the first to be discovered. It was found near Rasoolpur chowk by an SHO who was heading to the hospital to investigate the first murder.

In no time, the murder count rose from two to six as police kept getting calls about attacks by a rod-wielding man. The CCTV footage and grabs of the suspect were circulated amongst cops on Whatsapp and a red alerted sounded in the city by3.30am. Around 4am, cops received aPCR call about a man chasing another person on the road in the Camp area in Adarsh colony. Simultaneously, Ashish, the man who was attacked, too, called up the police.

Cornered in a lane, Dhankar attacked the cops but was soon overpowered and thrashed. Palwal SP Sulochona Gajraj said initial enquiry suggests that he was mentally unstable and had selected his victims at random. "We have recovered an identity card from him which suggests he is a retired Army man," Gajraj said.

New Delhi, May 30: The COVID-19 pandemic has left the Indian private healthcare sector in acute financial distress, a new survey said on Friday adding that the healthcare facilities in the country have witnessed at least 80 per cent fall in average revenue.

Post the lockdown from March 24, Indian hospitals have seen a large impact, especially among small and medium-sized hospitals, which are now facing existential challenges.

The survey by healthcare industry body NATHEALTH was conducted in 251 healthcare facilities across nine states and 69 cities to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the domestic healthcare industry.

The findings showed that 90 per cent of the surveyed healthcare facilities are facing financial challenges with 21 per cent facilities facing an existential threat.

"There is a need for a stimulus package to revive the Indian healthcare industry which will be crucial to provide much-needed relief to the healthcare sector which is the frontline defence in this fight against COVID-19," said Dr Sudarshan Ballal, President NATHEALTH.

According to the survey, hospitals in tier 1 and tier 2 cities are experiencing a 78 per cent reduction in OPD footfalls, and a drop of 79 per cent in in-patient admissions.

The study found that 90 per cent of organisations require some form of financial assistance.

The findings indicated that even after the lockdown lift, the situation will remain difficult for the hospitals and nursing homes as patients will hesitate from visiting hospitals.

New Delhi, Apr 22: Philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership in dealing with COVID-19 pandemic by adopting several measures including lockdown and increasing health expenditure to strengthen the health system response.

"We commend your leadership and the proactive measures you and your government have taken to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 infection rate in India, such as adopting a national lockdown, expanding focused testing to identify hot spots for isolation, quarantining, and care, and significantly increasing health expenditures to strengthen the health system response and promote R&D and digital innovation," Gates wrote.

He added: "I'm glad your government is fully utilising its exceptional digital capabilities in its COVID-19 response and has launched the Aarogya Setu digital app for coronavirus tracking, contact tracing, and to connect people to health services."

Prime Minister Modi had on March 24 announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown as a precautionary measure to contain the spread of COVID-19. The lockdown was later extended to May 3.

Gates further stated, "Grateful to see that you are seeking to balance public health imperatives with the need to ensure adequate social protection for all Indians."

With 1,486 new cases and 49 deaths in the last 24 hours, India's total number of coronavirus positive cases have risen to 20,471 while the death toll stands at 652, Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said on Wednesday.

Out of the total number of cases, 15,859 are active cases, 3,959 cured or discharged or migrated and 652 deaths.

Bill Gates met Prime Minister Modi in New Delhi on November 18 last year.

During his visit, Gates had addressed a function organised by NITI Aayog for the release of its report on 'Health Systems for a New India: Building Blocks - Potential Pathways to Reforms' wherein he lauded the country for its healthcare system and talked about how digital tools can help improve it further.

At that time, the philanthropist had commended the Central government for stepping up and eradicating polio.
