The Additional Medical Superintendent of Delhi's Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital Dr KB Chaudhary died on Wednesday after a mysterious fall from the fifth floor of the hospital building on Wednesday. Dr Choudhary reportedly fell from the building around 11 a.m. and died instantly.
DCP North East district Dr AK Singla told The Pioneer that the incident is being investigated and forensic experts have examined the spot.
"We will reach a conclusion after the forensic report is submitted to us. His family members were informed about the unfortunate incident and the body will be handed over to them after the autopsy is conducted. An inquest proceeding is being conducted to determine the exact cause of death."
Talking to The Pioneer, Dr Sunil Kumar, and MS at GTB hospital said "Dr Choudhary, was in depression for the past few days. Even, he did not have much work pressure. He used to handle telecom department, complaints of staff and physicians.
This is not complex work, which other hospital officers handle."
Hospital has set up an inquiry committee on the matter, Dr Kumar said.
"We are yet to ascertain whether it was an accident or a suicide attempt as no suicide note was recovered from the possession of the doctor. We cannot rule out the possibility of murder as the case is still being investigated," a police officer said.
