A woman was injected with HIV-infected blood by two of her daughters who were after her property. Bharathi, a 59-year-old woman who lives in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, has now fallen ill and been admitted to a hospital.
One of the two daughters works as a nurse in the same hospital, and she allegedly injected the HIV-infected blood into her mother. After a while, Bharathi's condition worsened and she was admitted to another hospital where the doctors confirmed she was infected with HIV.
Bharathi and her husband have now complained to the police that she had been given contaminated blood by the elder daughter, the New Indian Express newspaper reported.
The couple said that Durga (her stepdaughter, from her husband's earlier marriage), in connivance with her step-sister Kameswari and Kameswari’s husband had administered HIV-infected blood to Bharathi.
Bharathi said that her son-in-law, Sambasiva Rao, was mounting pressure on her to hand him over the property. The property is reported to be worth Rs 50 lakhs (approx $100,000).
Rachakonda Ranga Rao, husband of Bharathi, recently retired from a government job.
The police are investigating the case registered under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005. Both the daughters ― Durga (35) and Kameswari (32) ― are absconding.
