A medical doctor, who is supposed to save lives, has turned a murderer and killed at least 6 people and buried them in his farm house. Maharashtra doctor, arrested on the charge of kidnapping and killing an ‘aanganwadi’ worker, has confessed to murdering at least six persons by administering lethal overdoses of medicines, police saidin Satara on Monday. When 49-year-old Mangal Jedhe was reported missing on her way to Pune from Satara in Maharashtra, investigations led the police to the farmhouse of a medical doctor Santosh Pol. Police said that investigations revealed that prior to leaving for Pune, the victim was in touch with Pol and both had a bitter fight when she threatened to reveal his (Pol's) alleged shady and criminal activities.

Pol and his associates, including nurse Jyoti Mandre, allegedly kidnapped Jedhe as she waited at the Wai bus depot and took her to Pol's farmhouse around 13 km from Wai. The following day, Pol and Mandre allegedly administered her an overdose of a lethal medicine and killed her. They buried the body at an isolated spot in the farmhouse, after which both Pol and Mandre went underground. Some of the people whose bodies have been found by the police had been missing since 2003. The police have contacted their families, but are not revealing details yet.
