IGIMS 2nd year PG Radiology ends life by hanging
Doctor Suicide
Patna: In an unfortunate incident, a 28-year-old resident doctor and a second-year postgraduate student in the Radiology Department at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Science (IGIMS), Patna allegedly committed suicide by hanging from a towel in the kitchen at his residence in Patna's Shivaji Nagar. No suicide note was recovered from the scene.
The medico reportedly used a noose made from a 'gamcha' to hang himself from a hook in the kitchen ceiling. It is unknown why he took the extreme step but the police are investigating every possible angle to determine the reason behind it.
Although the student lived in rented accommodation, he came to his house on Monday night as his parents had gone to their native place in Supaul. Therefore the house was empty and he was alone.
