Chandrapur: In an unfortunate incident, a 48-year-old well-known ophthalmologist allegedly committed suicide by taking an overdose of some medicine at his clinic on Tuesday. 

The doctor reportedly ended his life by administering a heavy dose injection which is suspected to be anaesthesia to himself in the restroom at his clinic near Jayant Talkies Square. The reason behind his death is unknown.

The shocking incident came to light when a paramedic tried to contact the doctor about a patient who had visited the clinic at 8.30 pm for a checkup.
