"He is undergoing treatment at a private hospital where his condition is stated to be stable. No complaint has been given so far," the officer said. This comes after Dr Kafeel had stated after being released from the jail that 'there could be an attempt to kill me'. Now, an attack on his brother raises several questions. Though, the police are claiming that this could be a matter of 'Personal enmity'.
