In a shocking incident, a 24-year-old woman doctor allegedly committed suicide by injecting herself with an anesthesia drug in the hostel of the government-run Gandhi Medical College (GMC) in Bhopal on Wednesday.
As per police officials, the body of the woman, identified as Akansha Maheshwari, was found in her hostel room on Wednesday evening.
Police confiscated empty injection vials and a syringe from her room. Koh-e-Fiza police station in-charge Vijay Sisodia said that the woman administered herself four doses of anesthesia of 2.5 ml each.
A "suicide note" was found in the room in which she had purportedly written that she was not mentally strong and unable to cope up with tension. She also mentioned that was taking the extreme step for personal reasons and nobody was responsible for it, he said. The deceased also said sorry to her parents in the note.
Maheshwari was pursuing post-graduation in the paediatrics stream from the government-run GMC and was in the first year of the course, he said.
As per the other hostel inmates, the door of the woman's room was closed since Wednesday morning. When they came back in the evening, they were surprised to find it still closed and alerted the security guard and the medical college management about it. After receiving information, police reached the spot, opened the door forcibly and found the woman lying dead in the room.
She was a resident of Gwalior and joined the GMC about a month back. She had spoken to her family members at around 7 am on Wednesday, the official said. The police have registered a case and are conducting a probe into the incident.
