Thamarassery Police arrested Sanoop, and they plan to file charges soon. Staff said Sanoop didn’t seem dangerous at first and was carrying no obvious weapon. He was walking around the hospital complex from 11 am onwards, waiting for the superintendent.

Dr. Vipin is now stable in the neurosurgery ICU at Baby Memorial Hospital.

Anaya, a Class 4 student at Korangad Government LP School, died on August 14 after being admitted to the hospital with a fever. She passed away while being taken to Kozhikode Medical College Hospital.

Health officials said her illness was a rare infection, not a common virus. In response, doctors in Kozhikode’s government hospitals started a strike, stopping all non-emergency services. Thamarassery Taluk Hospital has also shut down most operations.

The medical community is demanding better safety measures and support, while the police continue investigating.
