Vandanadas sustained multiple stab wounds on her chest and neck in the attack and died at a private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram where she was shifted for treatment.
S Sandeep, 42, a teacher at an upper primary school in Nedumpanna in Kollam district, attacked the doctor and four other persons, including police personnel, who were taking him for a medical examination, police said.
ADGP (Law and Order) Mr Ajith Kumar told the media that Sandeep was taken to the hospital due to injuries.

The incident took place when the injured person was taken to the dressing room after the medical examination, where he jumped from the bed and kicked his relative named Banu, attacked the guard (who was with the police team), a police constable on duty and another person.

When the police brought him to the hospital for a medical test, he created a ruckus and took the life of the lady.
