Dr Payal Tadvi Suicide case, not homicide; say officials
"We have already submitted the suicide note found in her phone and after the DNA analysis, it seems it is a case of suicide and not homicide. We have examined her dupatta by which she was found hanging,"
Mumbai: The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) has submitted to Mumbai Police its DNA analysis report in connection with the alleged suicide case of doctor Payal Tadvi, a senior official said on Sunday, adding that it does not seem to be a case of homicide.
The FSL's cyber unit will also submit its final report within one week, he said.
Tadvi (26), a second year post-graduate medical student attached to the civic-run BYL Nair Hospital in central Mumbai, hanged herself in a hostel room on May 22 after alleged casteist slurs by her senior colleagues.
The FSL at suburban Kalina has since then been examining various samples collected from the spot of the incident, including Tadvi's 'dupatta' (long scarf) which she allegedly used to hang herself, blood in her nails, mobile phone and other material.
