Delhi Doctor Murdered by Teens Over Disputed Medical Bill

A 17-year-old and his accomplices killed Dr. Javed Akhtar following a disagreement over treatment charges at a Delhi hospital.

Dr. Javed Akhtar, a practitioner of Unani medicine, was shot dead at Nima Hospital in Delhi by three teenagers.
The incident was sparked by a dispute over an allegedly inflated medical bill of Rs 1,200, which the main accused claimed was excessive.
Following the murder, the main suspect posted a photo on social media with a caption admitting to the crime.
All three teenagers involved in the murder have been arrested, and the weapon used in the crime has been recovered.
The killing has raised concerns about the safety of healthcare workers, reminiscent of a recent high-profile case in Kolkata.
