Medical Dialogues had previously reported that Just two months away from completing his medical degree course, a 26-year-old final year MBBS medico of MJN Medical College and Hospital in Cooch Behar allegedly committed suicide by hanging from the ceiling fan in his hostel room. While the preliminary investigation by police indicated that the trainee doctor died by suicide as he was struggling emotionally over relationship issues, his father and brother vehemently refuted these claims, alleging foul play. They alleged that he faced mental harassment both at the hospital and the hostel. His brother further raised suspicion, stating that when the body was discovered hanging, his brother's feet were still touching the ground. Demanding a proper and fair investigation into his son's death, the father claimed that his son was murdered, asserting that he was strong-willed and would never have taken such an extreme step.
