Another resident doctor allegedly attempted suicide

Three days after the death of the doctor, another female resident doctor at SMS Medical College allegedly attempted suicide by consuming sleeping pills at her in-law's house on Monday. 

The deceased was a 29-year-old first-year PG student in neurosurgery at the medical college and was originally from Mumbai. However, she shifted to her in-law's house here after getting married. 

The doctor consumed sleeping pills on Sunday night and did not wake up the next morning. When her in-laws noticed that she was not coming out of her room, they went to her room to check up on her. Her unconscious condition and the discovery of medicine packaging in her room were noticed by her in-laws, who quickly brought her to SMS Hospital for immediate medical treatment.

A senior doctor at the SMS told the daily, “She was brought to the hospital in critical condition by her relatives. We have admitted her to the ICU, and she is currently on a ventilator.”

Her in-laws expressed their astonishment regarding the incident, stating that she appeared to be in a normal state the previous night and they were completely unaware of the reason behind her decision to take such an extreme measure.
