Hyderabad: In a tragic incident, a man was killed and his wife injured when an old tree fell on them on the premises of a hospital in Secunderabad here on Tuesday.
The freak accident took place in Bolarum Cantonment Hospital in Secunderabad where the couple had come for treatment.
The old tree fell on the couple, residents of Tumkunta, soon after they entered the hospital compound on their scooter for treatment.

Police shifted Ravinder's body for autopsy.
