Overview
- Police say the 24-year-old allegedly went to the woman's home in Hyderabad on March 11 and injected his own blood with a syringe.
- Officers identified the suspect as Manohar, a relative of the woman, and booked him under BNS Section 109 for attempted murder before a court sent him to judicial custody.
- The woman developed a high fever soon after and was moved from a private facility to Gandhi Hospital for evaluation.
- Investigators state the wedding proposal had been withdrawn months earlier after a pre-marital test reportedly showed him HIV-positive, which they say led to the alleged attack.
- The probe now centers on forensic confirmation of the blood source, and doctors caution that any infection may take up to three months to show in tests.
