Meerut: In a disturbing incident, a 26-year-old Ayurveda woman doctor was found dead inside her clinic in Pallavpuram Phase-2 on Sunday morning, with her family alleging that she was murdered. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death and have not confirmed the allegations. 

The doctor had been running a clinic at the Ayurveda and Natural Centre in Pallavpuram Phase-2 for around four months. She left her parental home for the clinic at around 6:15 am on Sunday.
