While the blood coated body of the doctor was lying in bed, the body of nursing student was found hanging from the ceiling. The room was locked from inside. Police is investigating the case considering it as a double murder. According to Bilaspur Superintendent of Police Ratan lal Dangi, prima facie the incident looked a case of love affair as not only doors of the room were bolted from inside but also the situation inside the room pointed towards that.
Both the bodies were in semi nude condition. While the doctor’s hands were tied with a blue colour ribbon on his back and there was stab wound mark in his stomach, the girl was hanging from the ceiling. Prima facie, the police suspected murder of the doctor while the girl might have committed suicide, Dangi added.

Manjhi, a resident of Makshuda village of Marwahi area and a distant relative of the doctor was a student of nursing. She used to come Menduka daily from her village to attend her college and also learnt clinical skill at Doctor Manjhi’s clinic.

After recess when the staff returned they found the doors of the doctor’s rest room, located beside the clinic, closed. Even after repeated knocks when it did not open, they along with relatives of the doctor broke them open and also informed the police.
