The incident took place on Friday after the doctor returned home from duty around 6 P.M. According to his family members, he had evening snacks with his mother and grandmother and later went to his room on the third floor to study.
Hours later, his family heard a gunshot sound. Immediately, they went to the third floor and found their son dead. He was lying in a pool of blood. Relatives rushed to his aid and informed the police immediately. He was taken to a local hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
“He was a friendly and hardworking person. He had just begun his career in medicine. About ten days ago, his PG examination result came, in which he did not pass. Since then, he appeared stressed, ” a family member said.
“Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide. The victim’s family members claimed that he had been mentally disturbed for several days after he failed to get through the postgraduate examination, the results of which were declared a few days ago,” Muzaffarpur senior superintendent of police (SSP) Sushil Kumar told HT.
The incident has left the family in shock. The Town DSP of Muzaffarpur, Suresh Kumar, confirmed that police and the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team reached the spot soon after being informed of the suicide.
“We have collected evidence and are questioning family members and neighbours to establish the exact reason behind the incident. We have recovered his dead body and sent it to Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital, Muzaffarpur, ” the DSP told IANS.
