Ahmedabad: A Gujarat based orthopedic surgeon has been booked along with his family members under IPC section 306 for abetment to suicide after his wife alleged in her suicide note that the doctor forcibly administered sedatives and subjected her to unnatural sex, apart from torturing and harassing her for dowry.

Police have booked the doctor, his father, mother, and sister, for abetment to suicide, unnatural sex ( Section 377), and forcibly drugging the victim.

A few days ago, the wife committed suicide at the doctor's house by consuming poison but she wrote her last statement on her right thigh. Besides, the police found an 18 pages long suicide note from the house. In the suicide noted, the woman had alleged that she was being harassed by the family members of the doctor for dowry as well.

She further alleged that the doctor used to sedate her and forcibly fulfill his demand for unnatural sex. Police have booked the doctor, his father, mother, and sister, for abetment to suicide, unnatural sex ( Section 377), and forcibly drugging the victim.

The victim has been identified as a 39-year-old woman who tied the knot with the doctor in August 2020. Times of India reports that according to the father of the deceased, she and the accused doctor both were previously married and separated from their respective spouses. After their separation, they met each other via a matrimonial website and decided to marry.

The father alleged that soon after their wedding the family of the doctor started harassing her for dowry. He added that due to their constant harassment, the woman in December left her husband's home and started staying with her father. However, on Tuesday she went to visit her husband's house where she allegedly committed suicide. The father of the deceased came to know that her daughter had consumed poison from an unknown source.

In her 18-page long suicide note, the victim mentioned that the doctor forced her to have sex with him every day and also subjected her to unnatural sex. As per a recent media report by TOI, the suicide note stated, "As he is a doctor, he gave me sedatives every day due to which I would be half-conscious and he would forcibly have sex and unnatural sex with me."

She further alleged that her in-laws and her husband's sister were demanding 250g of gold as dowry and were torturing her for not bringing enough money from her parents' place. An incident was also mentioned in the note where she went to her husband's clinic to inform him how his parents were harassing her. However, when she told him about it, the doctor allegedly became violent and thrashed him.

YR Vaghela, police inspector, Ghatlodia Police Station told

The Indian Express, " The victim had consumed poison on February 9 after she met her husband at a hospital and she was rushed to Civil Hospital in Sola where a team of doctors declared her dead during treatment. Taking cognizance of the complaint by the victim's father, we initially filed an FIR against the doctor and his parents under IPC sections 306 for abetment to suicide, 114 for an offense committed when abettor present and sections of the dowry prohibition Act."

Though police have already booked the accused under relevant sections of IPC, one of the inspectors informed that the whole family has gone absconding since the incident and police are investigating the case to nab them at the earliest.
