Tragic: Doctor electrocuted to death at RNT College Hostel

Dr Prashant told PTI, "He received a strong electric shock and collapsed. Hearing his cries, other resident doctors rushed to his aid and attempted CPR before taking him to MB Hospital, where he was declared dead."

Following the incident, resident doctors assigned to the emergency, ICU, and trauma wards and undergraduate medical students joined the strike on campus, disrupting medical services in one of the largest hospitals in southern Rajasthan.

Demanding accountability from the college administration, the doctors and students demanded the resignation of the principal and the hostel warden. "We demand the resignation of the principal and the hostel warden on moral grounds for this tragic lapse," said Dr Ashish Mahant, Joint Secretary of the Resident Doctors' Union.

According to a latest media report by Patrika, Dr Ravi Sharma was posted at the Kherwara Community Health Centre and was staying with his cousin at the PG hostel for two to three days before joining the hospital. 

An investigation is underway, and authorities are awaiting the post-mortem report while checking the electrical safety of appliances in the hostel.
