25-year-old Homeopathy doctor ends life after being cheated on matrimonial website

Pune: In an unfortunate incident, a 25-year-old BHMS (Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery) doctor from Bibvewadi allegedly committed suicide by consuming poison in her clinic after being deceived by a man she met on a matrimonial website. The man, who hid his marital status, allegedly promised to marry her and extorted Rs 10 lakh from her. 

The accused, despite being married, created a profile on a matrimonial website as a single person and entered into a romantic relationship with the doctor, promising to marry her. However, after extorting money from her, he confessed to being married and revealed that his wife was pregnant. This revelation reportedly caused severe emotional distress and shock to the doctor, which is believed to be the reason behind her taking such an extreme step. 

In a suicide note left behind by the deceased which was recovered by the police, she explained about the incident and how she was unable to cope with the betrayal which ultimately drove her to end her life.

The accused a resident of Sangli, has been booked under multiple charges following a complaint lodged by the victim’s father who sought justice for his daughter's death and claimed that the accused deceived his daughter by hiding his marital status.

As per The Bridge Chronicle news report, the incident took place after the doctor had turned to a matrimonial platform in search of a life partner. There, she connected with the accused, who had falsely presented himself as unmarried and conveyed his intention of marriage. Following this, the doctor began interacting with him and eventually met him in person at a hospital in the Dehu area.

Although her family initially rejected the match due to concerns about his behaviour, the accused persisted and convinced the victim of his intent to marry her. Over time, he allegedly extorted a sum of Rs 10 lakh by giving various excuses. Shortly, an argument erupted between them when the doctor asked the accused about their marriage and the money. On this, the accused later revealed that he was married and his wife was pregnant.  

Devastated and heartbroken over the issue, the doctor allegedly committed suicide at her clinic on January 7. Upon discovering her condition, she was rushed to a hospital where the doctors pronounced her dead on January 8 despite medical treatment. 

Following her death, the father of the deceased held the accused responsible for her death and filed a complaint against him. Later the police registered a case and initiated an investigation. 

Speaking to The Daily, the father said, “He deceived my daughter by hiding his marital status. He came to visit her in the hospital while she was undergoing treatment, but we could not take any action at the time due to the situation. We demand justice for our daughter.”
