Radha Krishna Medical College MBBS student commits suicide, depression suspected

Bhopal: Possibly battling with depression, a 20-year-old second-year MBBS student of Radha Krishna Medical College allegedly committed suicide. She was found hanging in her rented flat.

According to the latest media report by TOI, her suicide note recovered by the police mentioned that she took her life in search of peace. Police suspect that she was possibly suffering from depression, which drove her to take the extreme step. However, what might have caused her to be depressed is yet to be confirmed. 

The deceased parents who met with her three hours before the incident stated that she looked normal during the meeting. They also claimed that their daughter never spoke about academic struggles or personal issues that might have led to the incident. However, they also admitted that they were unaware of any problems she might have faced.

Her parents have now called for an impartial probe into the incident after learning about their daughter's death while travelling back to Ujjain from Bhopal, following their meeting with her.

TOI reported that just before the incident, the student met her parents, who had travelled from Ujjain to Bhopal on Tuesday to see her. They stayed at a hotel and asked her to meet them.

During their conversation, her parents invited her to Ujjain to celebrate Holi, but she declined, explaining that she only had one day off, which would be spent travelling. Instead, she assured them that she would celebrate Holi in Bhopal.

Her father told Free Press Journal that she was his only child and was good at studies. She was living in Bhopal for almost one and a half years and they did not pressure her for studies. 

The incident came to light on Tuesday when her friends reached her flat when she did not respond despite making several calls on her mobile phone. They broke open the door and found her hanging from the ceiling. They immediately rushed her to the hospital but she was declared dead on arrival.

When the police were informed, they reached the spot and sent her body for a postmortem. Later, her body was handed over to her kin on Wednesday. A case has been registered and an investigation is underway to understand the circumstances behind her death.
