A 30-year-old woman was arrested for attempting to murder her friend's wife by posing as a nurse at a private hospital near in Kerala.
The incident occurred at a hospital in Parumala near here where Sneha, 24, was admitted for post delivery care.

On Friday, the accused woman entered Sneha's room disguised as a nurse and told her that one more injection has to be administered.
"She attempted to inject air into the vein of the victim using an empty syringe twice but failed. When she attempted it again, Sneha's mother grew suspicious and informed the nursing staff," police said.
