57-year-old female doctor hangs self at residence in Kolkata

As per The Daily, the husband practises at a private hospital and has a chamber at the James Long Sarani-MG Road crossing. The police are presently investigating the case.

“We have learnt there was a discord between the two last evening over multiple issues. We are probing into the case to find out what exactly happened that led to her death,” said a senior officer of Kolkata Police.

The incident came to light when the husband informed the police upon discovering his wife's hanging body in her room. Her body was sent for postmortem to M R Bangur Hospital.

According to her neighbour, her main focus was engaging in social service within the local community. She played an active role in the organization of the Durga Puja festival in the neighbourhood and was highly recognized within the area.

“She was a very dignified and confident woman. It’s difficult to accept she has died by suicide,” said a neighbour.

“They seemed like a normal couple. Even on Saturday, she gave me two packets of ‘abir’ for my children. I can’t believe she is no more,” said Bina Pramanik, their domestic help.

A case was registered and an investigation is underway.
