Satara, Maharashtra, Aug 16 (IBNS) : The Maharashtra police have arrested a doctor, who in a chilling tale, has reportedly confessed to murdering six people, five of them women, and burying them at his farmhouse in Satara, reports said.

The macabre act of Santosh Pol, the 41-year-old doctor, came to light after police reached his doorstep while tracking the last phone call of a woman, Mangal Jedhe, who reported missing on her way to Pune from Satara.

After police arrested Dr.Pol following interrogation of his associate nurse, Jyoti Mendhre, he confessed to murdering not only Jedhe, but also four other women and a man. Police have already dug up four bodies.

Mangal Jedhe was on her way to meet her daughter in Pune when she went missing. Her last phone call was traced to Dr Pol.

Some of the people whose bodies have been found by the police had been missing since 2003.

It is yet to be ascertained what motive drove the doctor to kill six people. Police are  investigating whether he was involved in an organ transplant racket.
